Since I kept noticing bands from a while ago that were in need of merging, I decided to go through all of the bands that changed names and find the ones that should be merged due to insignificant name change. Here is the complete list. I hope this is the proper place to put this. I know only moderators can do this, but I am not sure where else to put it. Sorry if there are any mistakes. The format of the list is simple. The bands that should be merged are together and different bands separated by white space.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Abattoir/41952
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Abattory/6757
Apparent genre change and I think the names are in fact different enough.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Waltz/3540280067
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Abs ... 3540280066
Apparent genre change.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Acrimony/69803
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Acrimony_Inc./4324
Merged.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Aff ... sion/51534
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Afflicted/525
Apparent genre change.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Agoni/55422
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Agony/351
Merged.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ancient/75863
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ancient_Wisdom/2127
Apparent genre change, debatable, though.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Angmar/120152
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Cro ... 3540274158
Not sure, but may need to be merged.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Anguish/96512
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Anguish_Force/34527
Apparent genre change.

Significant enough.

Merged.

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Art ... cone/80316
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Art ... 3540313552
In this case the fact that a completely new lineup was recruited for the latter makes it enough of a distinct entity.

Original name owned by the record label. Even though sound-wise both bands are very similar, the fact that the original band was a studio project only and the new band is a full, touring and recording band (put together by the singer, who was the only person involved in the original band), along with the two decades between one splitting up and the other being formed, makes them two different bands (one being the continuation of the other) deserving separate entries.

It's no problem. If you start noticing bands that aren't quite insignificant enough, give me the reason and I can eliminate them.

If you can't edit the post, just post the bands here if you want me to remove them from the list unless you're doing something else to keep track.

I've taken a look at some entries (not all of them, yet :P ) and took the liberty of editing your post.

The thing about this is that there's no real standard, at least not one written out in the rules and followed by every member of the staff. I usually feel that "XYZ" to "XYZ ABC" or "ZYX CBA" to "ZYX" isn't enough, while "XYZ" to "XYA" often is. Also to consider are things like difference in pronounciation, "Mystic" to "Mystique" doesn't strike me as enough. "Mystic Prophecy" to "Mystique" is another matter, though. Lots of possibilities. Then there's also genres to keep in mind. Did the band also take a stylistic turn when changing name? If yes, then it's usually best to keep the two entries. In any case, the issue will have to be dealt with the same way as with accepting bands based on metalness: case-by-case with a set of helping guidelines.

These are my thoughts on this, and with the exception of a few mods I have yet to hear a general statement on this by other staffers (and the owners, for that matter).

I've seen a lot of pages in need of merging so far, but covering them all is a demanding task as we don't have a tool for this like we do for artists. Every bit of info has to be moved by hand, which is tedious when the entry has 5+ albums.

Is merging two profiles a complex process, then? I would've imagined you just clicked a button and checked a few things and that would just smash the two profiles together.

Question: does the band Lips need their own entry if their release is the same as Anvil debut but released under the name "Lips" and does Kimmo Kuusniemi Band need their own entry if their release is the same as Sarcofagus "Motorbirds" released later? In the cases of Digger/Grave Digger it's clearly because Digger released different album but what about these two bands?

Another question: the band Plasmatics have Wendy O. Williams releases in their discography, which does not belong because Wendy O. Williams needs their own entry. Am I right? :)

Since their name is completely different, we need to have these entries. As for Sarcofagus, even though Moottorilinnut had an internet release under the name Sarcofagus (the name of the album was changed to Motorbirds), it was re-rereleased twice on cd, as Moottorilinnut, under the name Kimmo Kuusniemi Band.

At first glance I'd say yes, though I see that she has also released other albums with several other names. Maybe we should just keep everything in one page instead having four of them.
