Only Testing:

• For example if one types "Isfahani" or "Iṣfahānī" or "اصفهاني" all person objects (and associated aliases) that match (or are very similar) to those strings would be presented as suggestions to the data editor.((For this a "live-search" facility (like "​Google Suggest") could be useful.)) Each suggestion would also provide minimal biographical info (place and dates) if available, in order to avoid the converse problem of merging two different persons who happen to share the same name.
