[Resolved] 2nd attempt: Water Music Recorders + Water Music (2) merge request

We have Water Music Recorders. Both are the same company, whose official name is “Water Music Recorders,” but the website is “only” https://www.watermusic.net/
Seven years ago, Water Music Recorders—but nothing has happened so far.
Therefore, a new attempt, as the current existence of two profiles without any discernible differentiation is not helpful, but rather highly confusing.
The focus should now be on finding a solution in the interest of the database.
The current statistics show
680 entries for https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/label/671324-Water-Music-Recorders/submissions
624 entries for https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/label/267099-Water-Music-2/submissions (= approx. 10% fewer entries)
Given the large number of entries, it's difficult to determine which name was used how often, so I see only the following as further indications for merging:
a) The official name is “Water Music Recorders” and
b) The note from I really don't have any irons in this fire personally as far as preference, but I am all for using the bigger profile and doing the least amount of edits in general.
c) ??
I therefore propose moving the credits from Water Music Recorders.

Yes, 100% this should be merged. I honestly don't care which version we use. Just merge them!
I'm now recalling that older thread and recalling how annoying that was. I'm sure most of us commenting on database forum threads are a little bit stickler about rules, but even for most of us there's a limit to how stickler we really need to get. Not everyone I guess! -

If there is no clear majority for a name as printed on releases (or, like in this case with more than 1,300 releases, it's too hard to find out), I always think that recording and/or mastering studios should get their PLN profile name as close as possible to as they name themselves officially.
Therefore I vote forF56
- as proposed.

I imagine this publishing credit is mis-assigned:
https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/label/267099-Water-Music-2?role=Published+By
As a publisher name form would need to continue to exist.
But it should be to Water Music (3) instead. -

+1 for merging and using the name they use officially to hold subs merged in from the short Water Music (2) - if it was legal entity like ltd or corp it would need to be differentiated but it not -

One more PLN to consider for merging is Water Music, Hoboken, NJ.
The following should migrate to the Hoboken located studio (now listed under other Water Music labels):
Ashes Of The Wake Drums recorded at Water Music Studios, Hoboken, NJ
Questionable:
Water Music Studios submissions belong with the Hoboken studio. I could not however find which release generated that PLN. -

As I'm thinking about this more, put me down as specifically +1 for merging into Water Music Recorders. I won't be upset if it swings the other way, but if that helps make a call easier. -

Water Music, Hoboken, NJ is done (except for the usual annoying bug). I'll take care of everything else (if possible) after the merger. -
