Artist alias request thread

jefflink0113 has already been deleted and has no posts or links to it so super meh. Can just stuff it in other names.

Firstly, it's better to do it to avoid cluttering. Secondly, "meh" is not a reason to reject when there's no cost to do it.

It'll probably just get retired as an alias after 2 years like most other artist aliases. Don't see the point.

What cluttering? The tag is still going to exist regardless, aliasing it just leaves a permanent redirect. It's not clutter because no new uploads are ever going to settle onto that tag. "Cost" to perform is entirely irrelevant too. It just looks like someone accidentally created a duplicate and then deleted it to fix their mistake shortly after, there's nothing to be moved over. I'm not saying don't accept - for an artist tag this big, and it being their common username, it would help any new accounts being added under that tag. It's just that I feel other names would work since it's already gone.

That only works when the last post was 2 years ago. Their most recent post was 3 minutes ago. The alias would expire 2027-02-09 unless another post gets uploaded, which then it's 2 years from that post date.

Then there's no problem approving it or ignoring the BUR. End of discussion

BUR #36582 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias hirano_masatosh -> hirano_masatoshi

Full, correct artist name romanization.

Needs verification. Their Twitter handle might clue in on what they prefer (平野 真稔).

Relax man, it's not that deep. I just said "you could probably put it in other names".

BUR #36339 has been rejected.

create alias rla13753 -> lee_mae-hyang

Pixiv sketch handle -> artist's name as used on his Pixiv and Arca profile.

Are you sure this should be hyphenated? It's three separate names on Pixiv.

BUR #36688 has been approved by @WRS.

rename hikaku -> hikaku_(user_tkna3547)
create alias siyrgr -> hikaku_(siyrgr)

Move hikaku out of the way (ambiguous) and add siyrgr's name (known as Hikaku on Twitter and Pixiv).

This tag was directly ripped from their handle without "I". Artist is still using that full Japanese name of "Hirano Masatoshi", so I'm 100% sure that's his preferred name.

Hm, I guess I will settle with the hyphen-less variant then, since their Pixiv profile doesn't use one.
