BUR #30003 has been rejected.

create alias strinova -> calabiyau

This Chinese game is coming overseas and the official name they gave to the global audience is Strinova. Here's the official site: http://www.strinova.com (Note: It feels a bit odd that the site doesn't support https, it redirects to the http version. But it's indeed the official website, it's linked in the official Twitter profile: https://x.com/Strinova_EN)

Although it seems the game is not very popular among artists (based on the small number of uploads across several image boards), it's likely that someone would find out about the game with this name and would like to search for it.

It might make more sense to reverse the alias, and have Strinova be the main name for the tag.

Seconded. While I knew it first as Calabiyau, it's more likely to be known by Strinova by the global audience.

I thought the general policy was to use the original name romanized as the main name, like benghuai_xueyuan. But yeah, I personally also prefer the English name.

I'm going to leave my original BUR open until we reach a general consensus on this.

We do have precedent: forum #165795. Though searchability I believe is also considered; you mention Benghuai Xueyuan, it had a global release as well but global servers were shuttered so the other names are aliased to it. Conversely, Honkai Impact 3rd is popular in global enough that the tag remains that way instead of being "Benghuai 3rd" or so.
