this seems something that could be brought up in the forums; I've personally seen many pages for actor-singers in Music/ who I'd say were more suited to Creator/, but since they are musicians as well as actors I didn't see a need to change them. Because of the content issue you mention, though, perhaps it would be an idea to start a thread

It can be quite a difficult distinction to make. On the one hand, many actors and voice actors record albums in part to promote themselves as singing actors. On the other hand, there are actors and actresses who first made their names as pop vocalists but later took on acting careers for which they have become considerably more famous, especially in foreign-language markets.

It's a judgement call, I guess. And sometimes it even depends on context; I've accidentally used the Creator/ namespace for Mitch Benn when I'm talking about his stand-up rather than his music. (And his stand-up has songs in it!)
