Artist alias request thread

Posted under General

BUR #47380 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias takashia_(akimototakashia) -> takashia

To dequalify, submitting for admin review and second opinions. Takashia (stylised TAKASHIA) is not ambiguous with anything on Danbooru nor of any artist and searching that on Google pulls up the exact artist or AI generated content in their style.

Autocomplete doesn't seem like a real conflict. It is already one of the highest results on autocomplete, ranking fourth of any tag with "Takashi" in it (as *takashi*) and first for tags specifically prefixed with "Takashi" (as takashi*).

BUR #47394 has been rejected.

create alias sup73ww -> gzpxllztt

Yeah, I know for a fact these two are the same artist. However, there is no mention of the latter on the former's Twitter. As the former is an NSFW account and I've never handled an artist BUR request of this nature before, I'm going to punt this here for advice as opposed to automatically approving it like I normally would.

Then no. If they don't link each other then they want the accounts to stay separate and we should honour that. Several artists here maintain two (or more) tags for SFW and NSFW content, either because they naturally have remained unlinked or because they've explicitly asked us to separate their tags.

That is exactly why I put this here then. I don't upload NSFW enough to be able to id protocol, other than that I know many artists maintain separate tags for SFW and NSFW.

Since there isn't an active connection between the two accounts to my knowledge, I'll go ahead and reject the BUR unless something changes.
