Follow-up to "Artist equivalence: Codeine the 90ies NYC slowcore band is not Codeine the trap band or whatever other bands of that name"

By the way, I acknowledge that several credit issues I reported previously were fixed, thanks for that, but many others had no result or only temporary ones. I am not going to reopen them, but I am really tired of this. These affect not just super obscure artists but in part - at least in their genres or countries - absolutely seminal ones.

I know that I can go and try to fix up MusicBrainz/AllMusic myself, but Roon was sold to me as “A music experience fit for a super fan. Roon brings all your music together and adds tons of data – bios, reviews, photos, lyrics, tour dates, and cross-linked credits for performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, and composers.” I think we can assume that this wouldn’t be wildly incorrect tons of data. (And as I mentioned before, every time I add or fix something on MB, I get complaints and arguments from other contributors that I don’t have the nerves for. And I don’t even know if the issue is in MB, TiVo, or Roon’s de-ambiguation / merge code)

Siobhan Duffy (-Gira) multiplied, Legendary German Band F.S.K. mixed up with some other artist Fsk, German Band Mutter mixed up with other Mutter, Artist equivalence: The Garage DJ Sticky from UK conflated with Uziah "Sticky" Thompson, renowned reggae percussionist, Michael Gira's "Angels of Light" band is not the same as some weird archangel albums (there are new fake archangel compilations there), Doubled up artist Time Bomb, Rapper Hittman (Dr. Dre) doubled as Hitman on TiVo and several other Hittmans

I know I am not the only one and other users are affected and have reported, too, but I know best about my own ones.
