The Join Field and Artist Collaboration
2.6.1. The join field is used for the words that link two or more artist names together, such as 'Vs.', 'Meets', 'And', '&', 'W/', and 'With' . Abbreviations are accepted if they appear that way on the release. The join field can also be used to enter separators (such as commas or slashes), if they appear on the release. Please don't leave the join field empty. If there is no join used on the release, use a comma, or for 'split' type releases where the artists aren't collaborating, use a forward slash "/". See 1.8.2.b regarding entering translations.
2.6.2. Collaborative artists should be split into their individual names except when the combined name was intended and can be verified as the group name (for example Simon & Garfunkel), legal songwriting entity (for example Lennon-McCartney), or production partnership (for example, Stock, Aitken & Waterman). Verification can be found, for example, in official external websites, biographies, and discographies.
2.6.3. Artist collaborations which are one-off recordings should be listed as separate artists. If this one-off collaboration becomes an ongoing recording team then they can be updated to one artist entry later.
2.6.4. Never create or credit a collaborative artist in any credit field, with the exception that some collaborative artists have already been created and used solely on writing or production credits. Please continue to use them, please do not attempt to split these unless there has been extensive agreement from other users in the forums. In the case of multiple artist / collaborative artist combinations in the credits, always split them into all their individual artists unless there is clear evidence that a combined artist name was intended to be legally credited for the role.
Следовательно, если "Янка и Великие Октябри" это отдельный артист и отдельная самостоятельная группа, то делим. Если "Янка и Великие Октябри" - название одной группы, то не делим.
Дальше мое ИМХО, как трактовать. Если у Великих Октябрей есть самостоятельная дискография, без Янки, то это отдельная группа и тогда делим. Если это только аккомпанирующий состав, собираемый чисто под Янку - то не делим.
Тут еще можно аналогию привести из другого правила:
Цитата:
Solo Artist Plus A Generic Band Of Musicians
2.11.1. A Solo Artist + Generic Band Of Musicians is entered as a new group with the solo artist as a member, for example:
Quincy Jones And His Orchestra
Louis Armstrong And His Band
Please make sure to add the solo artist as a member of that group using the In Groups function on the solo artists page.
То есть если "Янка и Великие Октябри" близко по сути к "Янка и ее группа", то не делим.
