Well, it’s not. (See Meatgirl, and I’m sure there are others.) > At the start of this thread I asked whether this criterion had changed, > and the only response was that no, it had not changed. Fascinating. That’s absolutely wonderful for deciding whether an artist is a collaboration or not. But that’s still Not What We’re Talking About. When we look at the guidelines, can we please look at the Artist Credit guideline, which applies to the situation we’retalking about[1]? That guideline certainly does refer to collaborations as an example of something which can be done with artist credits. But it doesn’t say anything like “These are the only situations to which artist credits apply, do not ever use them otherwise” > Some refinement of this guideline along the lines you suggest may be > desirable.
