Anita Chia- Jung Lin 林佳蓉, Violinist / 2015/08”) is a name-collision false positive — its Subjects link to people/jung-lin is a substring match on “Chia-Jung Lin”; the work is about violinist 林佳蓉 (people/anita-chia-jung-lin, 台南, SIUE), not pianist 林容光 (0 mentions of 林容光 in the file, which is bibliographic-record-only). Quote candidate therefore not this person → not pasted. Fresh ERE sweep this pass (林容光 / \bJung Lin\b / The Black Wedding / Medtner / Harth-Bedoya / Gala Chopin) returns an unchanged hit set vs slice 10091404-27 — musician400, whos-who-1664, charles-w-tang, works+people+sources indexes; the other \bJung Lin\b works hits (277, 550, whos-who-1999) all belong to the two name-neighbours above. Nothing new absorbable; no conflicts to HOLD. Note for a future lane: the Related Pages disambiguation line on this page writes 林佳蕙 where the person page reads 林佳蓉.
