Which Taccani to keep?
Alessandro Taccani - nm3502685
Sandro Taccani - nm0846121
These are two entries for the same person.
Alessandro has 9 credits, with one attribution as “S. Taccani”.
Sandro has 16 credits, with attributions as “Allesandro Taccani”, “S. Taccani”, “A. Taccani” and “S. Paola Taccani”
I propose to merge them, but which into which?
Using the web does not assist in determining the preferred name.
There is no Wikipedia page for either name, in English or Italian.
Alessandro has entries on Discogs, Allmusic and Spotify.
Sandro has entries on Allmusic, Secondhand songs and Spotify . There is only one reference on Discogs - ‘Sandro Taccani E La Sua Orchestra’, giving ‘Alessandro Taccani’ as his full name.
Should I
1. merge Alessandro into Sandro, or
2. merge Sandro into Alessandro?
Are there people with interest in Italian music who could assist? Does IMDB have a policy to solve issues like this?
