Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there is no system in place to prevent users from including artist names in the titles of tracks or releases. This can lead to inconsistent data practices and may complicate the clear identification and categorization of tracks and releases based on titles alone.
Describe the solution you'd like
I propose implementing a validation feature that automatically checks if the artist's name appears in the title of a track or release during the submission process. If an artist's name is detected in the title, the system should prompt the user to remove it, ensuring that titles remain clean and focused solely on the track or release name itself.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative could be manual monitoring of titles by an editorial team, but this is not scalable and is prone to human error. Automating this process increases efficiency and consistency across the platform.
Additional context
Implementing this feature would streamline data management and improve the searchability and organization of tracks and releases. It would ensure that all titles adhere to a standardized format, enhancing user experience and backend data handling.
Technical Consideration
The validation should be case-insensitive to ensure robust detection of artist names.
It should handle common variations and abbreviations of artist names, such as initials or nicknames.
The feature could be integrated into the existing validation framework used for track and release submissions.
Benefits
Consistency in Metadata: Ensures that titles are consistent and focused, without redundant information.
Improved Searchability: Clean titles improve the accuracy and effectiveness of search functions.
User Guidance: Helps guide users in following best practices for data entry, leading to a more organized platform.
