I was thinking of something more specific to a release rather than a generalized list.

Like, I could import a release in a language I don't understand

And I could write in in a dedicated section that I couldn't properly capitilize the track titles

And an editor in the future could take a look at that section as they're viewing my release

I want to enter a song (and artist?), but I am hitting a dilema: There is already an artist with the same name, with barely any relationships and discography that I am unable to correlate to anything created by the artist behind the song I want to enter. Should I enter a new artist for the same name?

rph (@_discord_102038103463567360:chatbrainz.org) yes, a new artist is the safe choice for something like this
2025-03-19 07823, 2025
rph[m]
if I turn out to have been wrong in the future and these 2 artists are the same person, I guess there is the possibility to perform a merge?
2025-03-19 07824, 2025
elomatreb[m]
if it laters turns out to be the same person, they can just be merged (although if there's a discography you can't match, that's unlikely anyway)

For context: This is the artist page on Musicbrainz: <https://musicbrainz.org/artist/a998c7c7-dc46-4646-a632-9636a5aca64d>
2025-03-19 07834, 2025

and here is the artist (that I want to add songs of) of the same name on spotify: <https://open.spotify.com/artist/2rkNfHlDA0t9QY9LKtZHTG> and youtube: <https://www.youtube.com/@EzzaWan/videos>
2025-03-19 07810, 2025
rph[m]
I will create a new artist page, because I see zero correlation here
2025-03-19 07802, 2025
elomatreb[m]
yeah, especially since there's not a single source in the edit history for that artist

oh I need to provide a disambiguation, hm what would the "correct approach" here be
2025-03-19 07853, 2025
rph[m]
I guess I can just write "EDM artist" for this one
2025-03-19 07841, 2025
elomatreb[m]
a genre is a useful start, if you have a geographical reference that's often very helpful too
2025-03-19 07856, 2025
rph[m]
is the youtube location field a good enough source for location?
2025-03-19 07817, 2025
elomatreb[m]
if you reasonably believe that it's set by the artist, sure

I don't like putting location in disambiguation, because it's already stored elsewhere...

That can be said about a lot of what people put in them though

disambiguation is really a comment or remark to help people idetnify what the entity is at a quick glance / search / query lookup

yeah, I understand, but genre is not captured elsewhere, and is most frequently actually disambiguating
