The same problem exists with music artists. One solution is not to repeat the work that has already been done by others.

  1. Scrape https://www.chartsurfer.de/archiv/artist-a.html for a list of all artist names.

  2. Scrape https://www.discogs.com/de/artist/28795-Prince for a list of alias names for each artist.

  3. Do just simple Levensthein for spelling errors and prompt the user if in doubt.
