Correct an artist name

In this topic you can request a name change of an artist. Of course, be 100% sure the artist needs to be renamed. Check Wikipedia, Google or any other resources. Include this info in you post, that is very helpful for the reviewers!

So when do we rename an artist?

1. Misspelled

The most common reason to change a name is because it's simply misspelled.

When not to request a name change

1. The artist with the correct spelling already exists

If the artist is already listed on LSI with the correct spelling (check this by doing a search), then the misspelled artist map should be deleted. You can request this in the Remove This Artist Please topic.

2. The artist changed their name

It's not uncommon that artists change their name. On LSI we add this new name as new map and link the old name to this new map. For artist name changes you can use the New Way Of Dealing With Artist Name Changes.

How to request a name change request in this topic

1. mention the artist name that needs to be renamed
2. link the name to its map using the LSI artist-tag
3. mention the reason for the rename
4. mention the new name

Please make The Iveys a searchable alias for Badfinger

Another band named The Iveys does exist, so please keep the page, but Badfinger were also known under that name throughout the '60s until they changed their name in 1970.

Just tested the aliases I posted on the other thread. E40 still doesn't give me E-40 when I search for it, so that should probably be made an alias anyway (Ray said that it came up when he searched it, but it's not for me).

Others that still aren't showing:

Tubeway Army for Gary Numan
Barnstorm for Joe Walsh

And some new ones:

AFX for Aphex Twin (he used this name on some releases)
TMBG for They Might Be Giants (this is a common acronym used by fans)

Yeah, Ray told me that the search shows the correct result when you type "E40", but it doesn't for me.
