      There should be a mechanism, whether automatically/universally or as a manually set flag per artist name, to force the Add Artist page to require a duplicate artist check override when the artist name matches an alias/credit.

      This would mitigate a lot of the problems MusicBrainz has with K-Pop artists getting an entirely duped discography/recording set every couple months, including but not limited to:

      • "Girls' Generation" vs "少女時代" vs "소녀시대"
      • "승리" vs "V.I"
