      From this forum thread: "A lot of disambiguation comments end up copying information that is already stored in the database in a machine-readable form elsewhere."

      We should be able to automate a lot of disambiguations, possibly maintaining the ability to add free-text to disambiguate remaining edge cases.

      A baseline implementation for this would be something like:
      [top genre] [artist/group/character] from [primary location] [optional manual free-text field entry]

      RYM already does this in a more intelligent way, going as far as to identify band members and other roles based on their relationships:
