"anon" as family name or first name in Person table #531

Open whalekeykeeper opened 1 year ago

whalekeykeeper commented 1 year ago

Some family_name or first_name cells are left empty, some are filled up with anon, some are just marked up in either family_name or first_name as anonymous. See examples:

person_id family_name first_name language sex
AG0162 Kongzi   en male
AG0162 孔子   zh male
AG0148 anon Zhenzhen en unknown
AG0508 童可夫 anon zh male
AG0827 anon Homer en male
AG0828 anon anon en male
AG0626 anonymous   en unknown

Question: should we delete "anon"? Otherwise, " Homer anon" would be the name in the science fiction tables I am making.

@duncdrum Hi Duncan, do you have any suggestions for this?
