How Should We Handle Artists with Multiple Aliases on Equipboard?

What’s the best way to add an artist who performs under multiple names (a.k.a. aliases, side projects, stage names, etc.)?

  • Should we create separate artist pages for each alias?

  • Or should there be one main artist profile with the aliases listed or linked somehow?

  • Are there any Equipboard guidelines or best practices for this?

  • Can we request features to better support alias linking between artist pages?

Who are you looking to add an alias to?

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

Sturgill Simpson should have his current alias Johnny Blue Skies added, but I am not sure if I should add it as a project or band.

GEAR:
  • Fender Jason Isbell Custom Telecaster
  • Rivera Chubster 40
  • Nobels ODR-1 Overdrive (1990s)
