[mb-users] Quick idea... "stub" releases

[mudcrow]

I dislike the idea, experience has shown me that stub releases result in
multiple duplicates. Look at rateyourmusic.com for examples.
The less info there is, the more likely someone will make a duplicate entry
as they cannot identify the stub.

How much info must be entered to make a stub?
It is sometimes impossible to identify a valid release that has track titles
& label info, reducing the amount of data available would make it even
worse.
I envisage hordes of stubs based on little info with no way to identify the
majority.
