Here is a rather uncommon common name thread...

It's all about Brian Taylor, part of the duo Neveldine&Taylor. Here we decided to list credits like Neveldine/Taylor or Neveldine&Taylor as if there were two lines of credits - one for each person.

The problem, which still remains, is: What is the most credited form of the single persons - should we write:
  Mark Neveldine credited as "Neveldine/Taylor"
  Brian Taylor credited as "Neveldine/Taylor"
Or is it as simple as:
  Neveldine credited as "Neveldine/Taylor"
  Taylor credited as "Neveldine/Taylor"

The current CLT tells us that the full name Brian Taylor is much more often used than the short form of Taylor. But this might be wrong - at least a quick eye on the details leads us to Taylor as the most credited form, since they seem to be credited as duo most of the times (Neveldine/Taylor, Neveldine / Taylor or Neveldine & Taylor)...


Here we go:

Brian Taylor (????): Cinematrographer, Producer, Writer; aka. Taylor
Known for: Gamer, Jonah Hex, Crank part I and II, Pathology and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Documentation: Wikipedia, IMDB as Brian Taylor (V)
Remark: Most of the time credited with his partner Mark Neveldine as Neveldine/Taylor or Neveldine&Taylor

The following entries in the CLT are either invalid or belong to another [Brian] Taylor:

The common name thread for Mark Neveldine is due to follow. So, please confirm the full credits for both of them in this thread, to save the work for the second thread...

Battle: Los Angeles there is no Brian Taylor. There is a Brian Tyler as Composer

Yes, that's why he is listed in the section for invalid/other Brian Taylors...

This thread is quite conclusive. We'll have to list him as Taylor.

This opens up another issue: Taylor - the female given name - is a rather widely used porn name. There are 28 adult profiles for various Taylors in our database...

We have reached here the top of the ridicule. Everybody here knows that the name of this director is Brian Taylor (with no known variant).

But trying to follow a stupid rule, we obtain a "common name" that is also the name of many other people with unknown BY, and this common name doesn't even match with what we have on screen (Neveldine/Taylor, Neveldine / Taylor or Neveldine & Taylor).

 

and the next step is ...

5 [The 5.6.7.8's]
6 [The 5.6.7.8's]
7 [The 5.6.7.8's]
8 [The 5.6.7.8's]

No, it is not.This is not the most credited form, since Taylor is credited with Neveldine.

There is no way to follow strictly rules and get a common name. This just proves that we should use common sense, and not common name stupidy.

Yes the common sense said, that we should credit them in two lines - and I didn't even attend this voting. Did you read the thread before trying to destroy it?

Quote:
The problem is very simple : in real life, we have two guys, Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, who work together.

Wrong, a second time. They worked together. They split up while doing Jonah Hex - six years ago.

Yes I have read all those pages that try to find a problem where there is none.

As I just said :  in real life, we have two guys, Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, who worked together. What are their name ? Well, Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine.

Personally, in this particular case, I would prefer to list them in one entry, as Neveldine/Taylor, only using "credited as" only for the occasions where they're credited with additional spaces, or with the &-symbol instead of the slash. I realise that in doing so, any "solo" efforts of either of them won't link with their Neveldine/Taylor credits, but hey, so be it. As always, though, no matter what me or anyone else prefers, it'll be impossible to get everyone to agree on *any* method. It's just one of those things that won't get solved.
