The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Duplicating person due to over zealous input cheking
In this example, the same person john doe can be added thrice due to differences in the case sensitive and adding space between john and doe. In the real word example, names are not being differentiated with case sensitivity. So this example does not really capture the real world, just a minor error.

:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Creating two persons with the same name and all other fields, but different case, is allowed with no warning. There should at least be a warning, to prevent cases where users accidentally create two contacts and clutter their list. Not a major issue however.
