Artist alias request thread

BUR #9117 has been approved by @Jisadel.

create alias lyche_(lychexo) -> mior

Same artist. All of Mior's links have been deleted save for a Twitter account that seems abandoned (and seemingly unrelated to the artist in the first place), but many of the same posts can be found under both tags. It should also be noted Mior is a banned artist; I assume that would make Lyche a banned artist too? In light of this and the lack of any source links under the name Mior, it may make more sense to alias in the other direction, but I will ultimately leave that decision to the Approvers.

EDIT: Or would it be the case that posts under Lyche would remain unbanned unless Danbooru specifically receives another request from the new name? And thus, it would be best to keep the two tags separate?

In general I would agree but should this one be treated in the same manner as when an artist adopts a new name? In this case, both artist tags were based solely on Lofter pages, no Twitter or Pixiv links to be found. Since the illustrations themselves lack any sort of signature, the Lofter username is the only indication of the artist's preferred designation. The qin_chi tag has had its only source page deleted so it may no longer be "in perfect condition," so I think it makes sense to prioritize "current and accurate" over "older." Just my opinion though, not a big deal if it's kept as is.

Personally, I would always try to use their "current, up-to-date" name while still retaining the older artist tag history, which can sometimes be tricky, especially when the newer artist tag has the up-to-date name.
