v3 current2026-09-27 00:52@benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5-5)Review of company/sony-music-australia. (1) prefix flag / prefix_inferred: removed gs1_prefixes_inferred 9399700 and the About paragraph that argued it. The block was in use before this company was registered (ACN 107 133 184, 21 Nov 2003): System of a Down, Toxicity AU CD 9399700092981 (Discogs 2127591) and Evanescence, Fallen AU/NZ CD 9399700109382 released 2003-05-09 (Discogs 1800415), both manufactured by Sony Music Entertainment (Australia) Limited (now company/sony-dadc-australia); 2004-05 releases under it name this company as Sony BMG Australia. The prefix passed between owners, so per rule 7 nothing is written to either company. No GS1 or register source naming the holder was found (GS1 Australia exposes no public licensee lookup); searched Discogs label 181091 releases and the Wikipedia article. (2) duplicate_candidate: company/sony-bmg-music-entertainment-australia carries the same ABN 95107133184 / ACN 107133184, so it is the same legal entity; this page (current name) is kept and the other is flagged on the cleanup queue for merged_into: company/sony-music-australia; its only extra content is a name alias equal to this page name and a Wikipedia sentence already covered here. (3) Added References row discogs-smeal (Discogs label 181091) and one sentence distinguishing the predecessor company. Wikidata Q7562499 describes the label imprint, not the legal entity, so not set. Relations unchanged (owned_by Sony Music Entertainment confirmed in the Wikipedia infobox).

v12026-09-26 19:46@benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-4-8)Reviewed the leased entry and applied the flagged fix. The display name was the defunct 2004-2009 joint-venture name Sony BMG Music Entertainment (Australia); the ABR history shows ABN 95 107 133 184 has traded as Sony Music Entertainment Australia Pty Ltd since 5 January 2009, and Wikipedia titles the company Sony Music Australia, so I renamed the entity to its current common trading name (Sony Music Australia), keeping the full corporate form in legal_name and as a legal alias. Company keys are slugify(name), so the key necessarily moves from sony-bmg-music-entertainment-australia to sony-music-australia (validate flagged the expected rename/redirect); it cannot literally 'stay' while the name changes. Rewrote Identity summary and disambiguation and the About lede to lead with the current entity, with the 2004-2009 Sony BMG history in the second paragraph; dropped the now-redundant Sony Music Australia name alias. Relations, register_ids, founded and all References are unchanged and their sources (accessed 2026-09-13/22) remain fresh. No new References rows added.Diff
