De-duplicate doubles in brand names (issue with master data)

Hello @danielb

Love this site; thank you for all the hard work.

  1. The site is sensitive to capitalization in brand name (OK), but does not prevent accidental brand name duplication due to capitalization (not OK)

Example: it currently counts sailor and Sailor as two different brands.
Some other examples include: Colorverse/ColorVerse, Kittyinkpot/KittyInkpot, l’artisan pastellier/L’Artisan Pastellier.

  1. This may extend to accents. Example: L’Ecritoire/L’Écritoire. I have not tested whether this is also the case

Can the master list of brands be cleaned up, please?
At least for the brands already in the database, I want my brand count to be accurate. Thank you.

If I can help in the clean-up I would be happy to receive the complete list of brands and create an old->new mapping table for cleansing the data.

Background: I’m engaged in a 'brand battle" with a friend. We are competing to see who has the most brands. we have both found that we are over-counting the number of brands we own due to this capitalization issue in brand naming.
