There were TWO "Elsie Baker"s

This article has combined the credits of Elsie Baker, the ACTRESS (dates as given), with those of Elsie (West) Baker (9/27/1886- 4/28/1958), pictured, who was the contralto SINGER that recorded prolifically, sometimes under the name Edna Brown. The author apparently assumed they were the same person. Disambiguation is needed.WGH29 (talk) 21:19, 15 July 2020 (UTC) ^[1]. ^[2][reply]

Two different persons?

I have a question to you. Which Elsie Baker is the article about? The singer or the actress? Both persons are mentioned. That can't be right. Or? For your information. I have wrote the article about Elsie Baker at the German Wikipadia. --Sik Imarg (talk) 22:12, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
