Small (post count) vtuber agency has the same name as artist.

Posted under Tags

BUR #25228 has been rejected.

rename varium -> varium_(agency)
create alias variumowl -> varium_(variumowl)

Not sure what the policy is for when an artist predates a vtuber agency but the vtuber agency was posted first and has less than 100 post but that's the case here.

The artist has been using this name since at least 2018 and uses this name in the artist signature and has this name on all platforms except twitter, seemingly because of the vtuber agency.

VariumOwl's Twitter was created in November 2020, while Varium the agency's Twitter (which isn't Varium, but varium_info) was created in October 2022, so the two are unrelated as to why the artist doesn't go by Varium on Twitter. The real reason is because of this random ass Twitter from 2010. Also, VariumOwl uses the same handle on Itaku.

Meanwhile, on your proposed agency qualifier, checking things right now, we have _(vtuber), _(vtuber_group), and _(agency) in use, but not _(vtuber_agency).

The artist should be aliased to varium_(variumowl), not renamed to an ambiguous name.

I changed the bur to that. I'm not sure about aliasing an ambiguous name to the vtuber agency rather than just renaming the existing tag. Or is this when you are supposed to add and remove the alias in the same bur?

Also thanks for finding that damien, they were called that on their self upload on e6 and I have never heard of itaku.
