I imagine the question there is "how are we supposed to know whether the composer actually called his sonata "Named Sonata" or not, for stuff where it's less studied and clear than Beethoven?" - which isn't too bad a question either. In any case, as long as when a non-newbie, not-erudite user wants to use whatever the release he's editing says to create the appropriate works he won't get voted down by someone saying THIS IS A NICKNAME, IDIOT (or the same but politely, I don't care, this should be preferred but not enforced like the recording artist thing IMO) I'm fine with it. So, vote No if someone is making an already-corrected work worse, but don't vote no if someone's just creating a new work from the release and relating it to the recordings - and that should apply to pretty much all of the guideline for me. -- Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren
