create alias lokulo -> rokuro_no_mawashimono

Same artist. All of their social media accounts go by this username.

This just seems unnecessary. We don't really need 3 basically-identical aliases to an artist when we already use their display name. Do we have to keep adding more every time they make a new twitter with the same name?

Because I keep forgetting that the artist goes with both names, plus "Other Names" wouldn't appear if you searching for it in the search box.

But if anyone thinks that's unnecessary like you said, they (Builder+) can reject it.

create alias souryuu_(double_dragon) -> souryu

Same artist. Nicknames on souryuu_(double_dragon) appear on souryu's Url: https://www.mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=14093; especifically R-Type Nirvana. Both share the same doujinshi.org author number (428).

I'm not convinced these are the same artist. Not even mentioning the obvious differences in artstyles (compare this with this, both from 3 years ago), having the same author number isn't good enough of a proof. In fact I think those two sites mixed up the two as well.

I see what you mean, then can you at least change the "lokulo" alias to redirect to them? It's currently redirecting to a different artist. I will edit my request.

There is no lokulo alias. It does not exist, and never has. It's not necessary to make extra aliases to an artist tag like this.
