Artist tagging help

Posted under General

I figure I should ask here before I make a bulk update request - a bit of digging via mangadex reveals artist mi_398 to be the same artist as jin_sei, Jin Sei being their alternative account for posting crossdressing things. Should the two of them be merged or kept seperate since the artist actively tried to seperate the two accounts and not reveal they were the same?

Since the name contains both Chinese and English characters, is there a precedent for using one or the other (or even both) when it comes to creating artist tags?

It's common for artists to write the preferred romanization of their name right next to it and the norm is to use it instead of following a standard romanization system. I guess 沙 is repeated to extend the vowel, but wait for someone proficient in Chinese to confirm.

According to the signature, Rosa is the preferred romanization.

Sometimes people repeat the final character to make their name more lovely.
