Disambiguation guidelines

What is the difference between giving someone an informed choice between:

  • [artist A] and [artist B]
  • [artist A] and [artist B who doesn’t exist in MB yet]

I just don’t see the benefit in waiting until there’s heaps of artists mashed together, and then sorting it out and disambiguating.

I spend a lot of time un-mashing artists as it is, so now I will always disambig. It doesn’t always stop people matching their euro-dance releases to a “New Zealand metal” artist but every little bit helps.
