Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson (as a duo)

An editor recently started to separate out the duo into the individuals. I believe this is a well-established duo and therefore should remain so. Some of his edits have gone through without votes. These were basically removal of the members and links to the various other sites that also have them listed as a duo. Should they remain a duo? Has been a duo on MB since 2003, so over 20 years.I readded the removals, but will gladly revert them if the community thinks they should continue to be separated out.

Link to his note on why he’s separating them out.

I’d say it’s pretty borderline. A couple of the compilations currently listed under the duo are more like split releases, with solo tracks from each. And although the duo artist has been around all that time, some of the duet releases have been listed under both individuals for a long time as well (e.g. Clean Shirt).

Is it me, or are there now edits open to both split AND join these two… :joy:

Apologies lol, made kind of a mess of it. I’ve cancelled the open edits for splitting them except for two cases where it really should be split as the release was a compilation of their solo work. Sorry for all the confusion! Got a little overzealous with that editing, this is why I usually just stick to cleaning up credits and adding allmusic links :rofl: :sweat_smile:
