In the past, personal name NARs could be coded as undifferentiated using 008/32 value “b” when the cataloger had no acceptable way of differentiating multiple persons with the same preferred name. Since then, PFAN have followed these guidelines for personal name NARs:

* <span style="color:red>Do not create new undifferentiated records coded 008/32 “b”.</span> All personal name authority records <span style="color:red>coded RDA</span> should be differentiated.

* Do not create new undifferentiated records coded 008/32 “b”. All personal name authority records coded RDA should be differentiated.

* Do not add a new identity to an existing personal name authority record coded 008/32 “b.”

* Do not add a new identity to an existing personal name authority record coded 008/32 “b.”

* Instead, apply [http://original.rdatoolkit.org/rdachp9-fr_rda9-5465.html RDA 9.19.1] to create a unique authorized access point for the person, using suitable additional elements.
