merge Misspelled Artists
From MusicBrainz Wiki

It's usually a good idea to merge a misspelled artist into the correctly spelled version. This is preferable to doing a MoveAlbum or ChangeTrackArtist, because MergeArtists automatically adds the "lost" artist name as an ArtistAlias to the target artist.
So next time someone attempts to add a track to the misspelled artist, the ArtistAlias will automatically redirect them to the correct spelling, instead of re-creating the incorrect spelling.
This is in some ways analogous to the MergeRatherThanDelete guideline for DuplicateAlbums.
