| | Posted: | | | | What is the correct way to profile/standardize this data? The DVD I am updating is Be Cool UPC 027616-928412.
The onscreen credit: The Rock
CLT:
Dwayne Johnson > 110 titles (211 profiles) vs
The Rock > 109 titles (372 profiles) vs
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson > 16 titles (44 profiles) vs
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson > 19 titles (54 profiles) |

| | Posted: | | | | If you are going by the clt results, then the rules would say...
Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) as ....
I would actually have to question the CLT results. There are a lot of WWF from early 2k's that are credited as Dwayne Johnson. Not sayimg it isn't so, but I think some questions should be asked. |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure where I read it, but I remember that he changed his stage name back to "Dwayne Johnson".
So probably in the near future the count will go up (more) for "Dwayne Johnson", so I'd use this. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

This is indeed a tough one. The pinned "DVD Profiler "Credited As" Name Database"-thread has him as "The Rock" (last message on the first page), but the current CLT results show that the number of titles has shifted in favor of "Dwayne Johnson". Here are the latest few attempts at addressing the situation:
- http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=245198
- http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=328885
- http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=330405
It seems the database is slowly catching up, and based on those 110 "Dwayne Johnson" titles vs. the 109 "The Rock" titles, the "correct" way of entry is now indeed "Dwayne Johnson [The Rock]". Now that he seems to have switched to using Dwayne Johnson exclusively, I guess that the scales will only tip further in favor of Dwayne Johnson. I updated the db. Remember that the db can only serve to provide documentation that two names are the same person. CLT results determine which name variant to use. In some cases, as in this one, we do have to catch up to changes in the CLT. | | | ...James
