| | Posted: | | | | Was wondering if someone is credited in the cast with DJ before their name, is that to be considered as an Honorific and that should be entered only in the Credited As section? |

| | Posted: | | | | This is why I asked.
Doing a CLT search for Aaron Paul, on page 2 there is a Hidden Title on the results.
Aaron Paul as DJ in Club (as DJ Aaron Paul)
I did a CLT search for DJ Aaron Paul and no results.
So, if his credited as would all be in the first name field as DJ Aaron Paul, does that at all change the fact that he's a DJ and would it mean that his name would actually be Aaron Paul?
If it is, then a birth year would be needed for the more famous Aaron Paul. |

Aaron Paul as DJ in Club (as DJ Aaron Paul) There's an IMDb-mining tool that results in data like this: it puts "(as DJ Aaron Paul)" is entered in the "role name" field. So the one thing you know when you encounter data like that, is that the data was mined from IMDb, and isn't checked any further - as a check would lead the user to amend the credit and remove "(as DJ Aaron Paul)" from the "role name" field. Therefore this particular bit of data must be taken with a grain of salt, and I wouldn't be too quick to assign birth years before someone has actually verified this credit. As it stands, though, it would seem like the common name for this DJ is simply "DJ Aaron Paul". | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

As it stands, though, it would seem like the common name for this DJ is simply "DJ Aaron Paul". But isn't DJ a job title? So wouldn't we ignore the job title, just like we do for Dr. or Captain? I tried to google search for this DJ Aaron Paul, and there isn't much out there. The Footnotes on the following site says that his is a non-sexual role and that his credit is as a DJ in club. So that indeed seems to indicate that it's a job title. https://www.gayeroticvideoindex.com/S/0/57410.html |

But isn't DJ a job title? Personally, I wouldn't consider it a job, but that's just me.  But even if we *do* consider it a job: nowhere do the rules state that each and every job title gets entered into the "credited as" field only - instead, that's only said about "military rank/affiliation or other honorifics". I neither consider DJ a military rank/affiliation, nor a honorific (see Wikipedia for wat a "honorific" is), so I wouldn't apply that rule here. |

| | Posted: | | | | So in general, a DJ credit should always be credited all together in the first name field?
So be it DJ Adam or DJ Adam Smith, it would all be entered in the first name field and even if there is another Adam or Adam Smith in the database no birth year is needed to separate the two?
Just want to make sure. |

Just want to make sure. That's how I would do it, yeah - when it's their common name, of course. Examples from my own database are "DJ Git Hyper", "DJ Quik" and "DJ Whoo Kid". I've listed them all as stage names, in the first name field only. |
