This would be P//BH for "As Credited", but the common name would still be P/B/H, since there are many more instances of the latter in the CLT.

For her last name to be Dow, she must be always referred to as Dow only.  If she is even once referred to correctly as Albertini-Dow, then that must be her true last name.

No, this would not be P/ /BH for 'As Credited'.  The as credited field is a single name field...there is no way to parse it.

I think I said that!  But thanks.

I don't think you did.  It sounds like you are saying that you can parse the 'As Credited' name, when the fact is, you can't.  If I misunderstood your statement, then I apologize.

And since the "As Credited" is not actually parsed, it will have no impact on the CLT

In fact, the program will not enter an "As Credited" name at all, in this circumstance.

I am not so sure about that.  Every single 'Credited As' field, in every single profile I have, has a name in it.  Since I didn't enter them, I have to believe that the program did.  Just to test it, I erased that name in a few profiles and, after saving and reopening the profile, the name was back.

Different example: Philip Baker Hall. There again, we had an on-screen credit (see below, from 'In Good Company') that caused some to feel his last name was "Baker Hall", not "Hall". Still, we didn't go that way (thread), and we stuck with P/B/H. Again: how is this any different?

Very good example. Until Invelos rules that a graphically layout credit like this still has to be parsed as P/B/H instead of P//B H, we are not stuck with P/B/H and I would clearly enter P//B H.

From the credits of Hard Eight (aka Sydney) a film in which PBH was the star:

Since the online parsing does not overwrite the local, why do we worry so much about this?

In short: because, when contributing cast/crew data, the local parsing does overwrite the online.

Do we really have many instances of P/B/H. Remember "Philip Baker Hall" is no valid documentation for P/B/H while "Philip Baker HALL" or "Mr. Hall" is, because, as we know, there is no default parsing.

Up to now, I have seen one instance documenting P/B/H and one P//BH. Looks like a tie to me.

Apparently, you haven't looked very hard.  All of these refer to him as "Hall", and they're all on the first page of a google search:

IMDb refers to him as "Baker Hall" and Rotten Tomatoes plagiarized their summary from IMDb, so they also refer to him as "Baker Hall".
