Solved

I can't find the link between person and film, but it needs correcting

Caroline Shaw (nm6388394) appears to be linked to the film Tár, but I cannot find out how, in order to remove the connection. I've looked in Music Department and Composers, but not there. She's not listed on the Tár entry, and I think that the misunderstanding arises from this article https://tidal.com/magazine/article/tar-fact-fiction/1-90095 - which, talking about the Blanchett character in the film, says "In the Gopnik interview, she name-drops a bunch of real-life accomplished composers: Jennifer Higdon, Caroline Shaw, Julia Wolfe and Hildur Guðnadóttir (the latter of whom wrote the soundtrack for TÁR)". I cannot find any corroboration that Caroline Shaw had anything to do with this film, and she is not mentioned in the credits for the soundtrack, either on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%A1r_(soundtrack) or any of the citations I looked at.

Hi Mels-

Thank you for posting the name page code! This is a Soundtrack credit which therefore you will only be able to submit a correction/deletion of it through the Soundtrack section on the title's page. 

You will have to go here and click on Edit. You will follow the instructions as per the contribution form. 

Cheers!

@Maya​ Thanks very much. I have since found that the situation is rather complicated, as there is an album which includes some but not all tracks (and some new ones), and some music sites do list a track by Caroline Shaw. However, at this stage I have drawn a blank (even with AI help) as to finding a separate reliable source listing all of the tracks featured in the film - which according to the music listing sites, are well over 30. The press kits appear to be no longer available so it is now impossible to verify using online sources.Thanks anyway for your help.

Hi, Mels:

I can confirm that Caroline Shaw is listed in the on-screen credits of Tár.

Thanks! Do you have a source other than imdb for this?

Yes, I saw the film's own titles.

@ljdoncel​ thank you, that's great to have this confirmed. I was hoping to have a citation to add to Wikipedia, but this doesn't seem to exist. (I can try using IMDb, but it's likely to be removed, as it's not regarded as a reliable source.) Anyway, at least I know now!

I was going to leave it at that, because it bothers me a little to publish sources and evidence only for someone to delete them later without taking any action, but since your purpose is to collaborate with Wikipedia, here is the reference:
