one singer, multiple names (also about songs)

i was wondering why "Shireen Abdul Wahab" does not have a picture or a bio until i found her under the name "Sherine" and "Shereen" with quite a lot of pictures and a good bio.
is there any way to merge these names?
this also happens with the songs. although there is an automatic correction mechanism that reduces this kind of problem, but still...

If you want people to see the problem, link to it.

I believe Shireen Abdul Wahab, Shireen, Shereen, Sherine and any other Romanizations that may exist should be merged into شيرين.

I think I got the answer :D

I had to use the "Suggest a correction" link in the bottom of the side bar on her pages and suggest Last.fm to use "Shireen Abdul Wahab" as her name.

I chose this name because I believe this is what appears on her albums.
