While a Name Number is a code for a name related to an entity, a Base Number is the code for the entity itself. It's a bit unclear (at least to me) what the difference here is. Also, the example IPI Base Number I-000000229-7: Is this a real life example? What does it represent? What does the single letter header “I” stand for/represent?

Given an IPI number the article doesn't make clear why also an IPI Base numer is needed

In other words which is the difference (non just the formal difference)

citing artists names is something to avoid!

Even if they are deceased, their rights are still shared with the heirs and the record companies continue to make profits. These names should be removed, there is also no real need to resort to artist names to explain concepts related to IPI numbers.
