This isn't a big priority, but it would be helpful if anyone feels like working on it -
Spoiler: show
When you type in "the" as a band name search, there are over 1,400 results that include simply one additional word. If that word is the name of another band on the site within the same country, a "not to be confused with" note can be added on the pages of bands that it would apply to, if not already mentioned in the bio/additional notes field. Most of these probably haven't been checked for yet, but depending on how common the word is, it would be a useful note for people navigating the site that aren't as familiar with the search functions.

https://www.metal-archives.com/search?s ... =band_name
(results, pages 1-7)
- complete - April 9, '22

with Incorporated / Inc. in the title:
https://www.metal-archives.com/search?s ... =band_name






- could be added to International bands and those that share one of the countries of location with them:
https://www.metal-archives.com/search/a ... ame=#bands

- checking for different spellings of common words, or adding to 'not to be confused with' list as you come across them. Example: Psychotik / Psychotic (can be added to each page to not confuse if within the same country, differently-spelled name listed under all of those that it is exactly the same). Cianide / Cyanide, Deth Bed / Death Bed, etc.

Letter 'A' (The A____) bands completed. Going down the line alphabetically seems like the best way to do this. The project is well worth the time it takes, so far. If someone starts B and gets up to a certain band, please post it here so that the next person knows where to begin.
(the right-click, 'open link in new tab' function is really useful when doing this).
