Contemporary constraint

edit

With Tupac Shakur there is a potential issue with him being associated with Amaru Entertainment. Because of the contemporary constraint. The releases under Amaru Entertainment are all posthumous studio albums. How should we solve this problem?

           contemporary constraint
The entities Tupac Shakur and Amaru Entertainment 
should be contemporary to be linked through record 
label, but the latest end value of Tupac Shakur is 
13 September 1996 and the earliest start value of 
Amaru Entertainment is 1997.

record label is not applicable to musical works/composition items <<< disagree

edit

record label is not applicable to musical works/composition items, only to artists and releases (albums, EPs, singles, etc.). For music publishers, use P123 (English)


Many items combine musical compositions with recording and release

We should adapt to this, it is productive to see all the information related to a musical work

I have not seen any instances of creating separate items for record releases

Agreed. This warning is currently contradictory. It claims to prefer applying "record label" to instances of "albums or singles". Yet entities that are in fact an instance of single (but also an instance of musical work) are currently flagged as a violation. I don't know how to make it inclusive instead of exclusive, so I've removed the rule for now. Krinkle (talk) 06:37, 22 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
