Artist alias request thread

DreamFromTheLayer said:

Yeah I know, I said that, but we usually romanize those names differently regardless of how the artist uses it (see howto:romanize and topic #16907), so we should probably be ignoring their romanization.

The aim of artist tags is to identify artists with their own name. It's more that our own romanization doesn't matter if the artist decides that their name must be read in one way. See also forum #168056, which supersedes the wiki.

Also from the wiki itself:

Note that exceptions can and will be made in the unique case where an artist, character, or copyright name has an alternate romanization that is consistent, prevalent, and significant by its copyright owner or publisher

In this case that romanization is present in all of the artist's accounts.

Edit: I've updated the howto:romanize wiki to reference evazion's forum post on the matter.

create alias matsui_hiroaki -> gaou_(umaiyo_puyoman)

Pretty big request (close to 700 posts). In addition to us moving away from non-pen names in general, I don't see anything but the Gaou name used in visible sources and publications.

I might need someone to check if the qualifier tag is fine or if it should be something else.
