Same artists with different names
Groups changing name
There still is some discussion on how to handle band names changes, as of early 2008 both in the style mailing list and in edit notes on artist "Panic at the Disco".
So to assess the extent and nature of what we need to handle, below follows a list of such artist name changes, to which category they belong, how these cases were handled and how that fit with our current guidelines.
Bands going by different names at the same time, to cover very different projects
Bands going by different names at the same time, using the names in an interchangeable manner to cover essentially the same stuff
- Resolution currently is: keep names separate when the difference makes sense (according to SameArtistWithDifferentNames)
Bands changing their names at some point in time, for legal reasons
Bands changing their names at some point in time, for other reasons
- La Ruda (formerly La Ruda Salska)
- Resolution currently is: in line with SameArtistWithDifferentNames - artist entry was renamed (just one entry), alias and annotation were added to describe the name change
- Panic at the Disco (formerly Panic! at the Disco)
- Merge is ongoing, but will certainly pass at the current trend. Resolution hence will be in line with both the current styleguide (don't create different entries for insignificant name variations...) and ArtistIntent
- The Kovenant (formerly Covenant)
- Currently merged to The Kovenant. Name changed due to legal reasons
- Teddybears (formerly Teddybears STHLM)
- Currently split, with performs as AR connecting them. Name changed after they signed to an international label deal.
- Martha & The Vandellas (Later Martha Reeves & The Vandellas)
- Name changed in 1967 due to label policy to pump the lead artist of their roster of bands (back in the day when labels 'owned' the bands much more than they do now)
- Brainstorm (formerly (possibly concurrently) Prāta vētra)
- International releases as Brainstorm, currently split and with performs as AR
- Fleshquartet (aka Fläskkvartetten)
- Although most of their releases actually say Fläskkvartetten on the cover, their entire discography here is under Fleshquartet, as their international name
