[mb-style] RFC STYLE-219: Update Artist/With_multiple_names to mention legal name aliases

2013-05-31 Thread Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren
Just that - telling people to add legal names to the annotation doesn't really make a lot of sense anymore.

I'd probably change the title of that section slightly. I just added a new artist to the database using their performance name. Should I go ahead and create another entry for the legal name as well? reads more clearly to me. It also makes it sound less like the multiple performance names that are

+1 I do have to stipulate though that a lot of performance names are only used during set periods of time (e.g. 氷室京介 performed as 氷室狂介 from 1981 to 1988 while he was active with BOØWY). You might want to include a guideline as such since only the last section deals with this. > ___

We're already a bit off-topic from the issue of legal name aliases by talking about artist merges, but what if the performance name is just the first name? I've been of the opinion it's beneficial to merge, say, a "Lisa" into a "Lisa Smith", because it *is* clutter to have editors enter "Lisa" int
