Someone refresh my memory here...

If LL Cool J (a stage name) is credited with an obvious space between the L's (L L Cool J), shouldn't "credited as" be used there?

Screenshot of the credit in question from H20: 20 Years Later:



And the CLT results:

LL Cool J (109/477)
L L Cool J (1/3 - all this film)

I think it should to reflect the current credits.

LL Cool J// [L L Cool J]

Edit: Not checked if there's another common name.

That's what I thought too.

The only other ones would be:

L. L. Cool J (2/3)
L.L. Cool J (4/11)
James Todd Smith (6/15)

Probably, but personally I usually don't care about spacing variants.

What is the purpose of Parsing a stage name. It is still the same.

Reguardless of how it looks it is still a stage name.
We don't list Cedric The Entertainer as First, Middle and Last because there is a space. Its all one because its a stage name.

It isn't being parsed as the entire thing is going into the first name field.  The problem is, if he enters it as 'L L Cool J/ / ', it will not link with 'LL Cool J/ / ' because the db treats them as two different names...the space makes a difference.

That being said, I agree, LL Cool J// [L L Cool J]
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
