I have a question about this kind of edits: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/133350084 . After merging... will the target recording automatically get any of the information that is lost from the old recording? (like length, disambiguation text or feat. artist) I guess the answer is no, but just in case, before I start working on fixing that...

It will get stuff that is not duplicated

So, length, yes

I forget if the disambiguation gets moved, I think not though

Artist no, that'll be the destination one

That's why if one is more correct we should merge into the most correct one

ISRC would move, for example
2025-10-02 27533, 2025
reosarevok[m]
Relationships will move, but there's none here anyway

reosarevok[m]: do you think I should vote no to those changes? (someone merged two releases so all the recordings have similar edits)
2025-10-02 27519, 2025
reosarevok[m]
I wouldn't, at least not now. It closes in 5 days so plenty of time to discuss it
2025-10-02 27555, 2025

But you could say that stuff like the disambiguation and featured artists will get lost and whether they could either fix the data to avoid that or cancel and merge the other way

How would I request for an artist to be deleted? I happened across a now inactive editor where I have reason to believe their edits were mostly faked

The only way to delete an artist is to empty it
2025-10-02 27543, 2025
reosarevok[m]
So delete the releases, relationships, etc

If it helps, most edits are by this user. The username is that of the supposed band they're a part of, which happens to be the name of a popular metal song, they've rated their own releases and music, no album art comes up in Google Reverse Image search, their edits are all comprised of "I'm in this band", they have no internet presence whatsoever aside from these entries, they changed their own band's creation date to be three

years earlier, and another band they added which was merged with another has both the same name as a Metallica song, and had Humboldt set as their creation place with the edit being made two days after the fatal bus crash there
