Here is the (hopefully) final propsal for changed sort name style:
1. All ArtistSortNames must be in Latin script. If the ArtistName is
in a non-Latin script, use the transliterated or translated name by
which the artist is commonly known.
Chidade, the general opinion (this includes me) seems to
Fair enough. Feel free to go ahead with the RFV again then.

Hmm, maybe I was too fast to RFV.
Reading the suggestion again I'm not sure what the pronoun they is

Yep, I assumed that the RFV would have to re-issued regardless. Your
last suggestion is better/simpler still. Does anyone have anything to
object before we go through the motions again?

Maybe, but I'm thinking from the point of view of a new editor, who gets
overwhelmed by the amount of information in the wiki and different style
guidelines (I've been there myself). Having a line about alternate
