Artist alias request thread

Posted under General

A better tell is the latter's profcard. Sometimes people cross-add links without requesting an alias so it's hard to verify that a real link actually exists when it looks straightforward like that purely from artist links.

create alias ikachan -> kouyo
create alias kouyomir -> kouyo

I accidentally made kouyo a general tag,and made a separate tag kouyomir instead, realized my mistake so I deleted the kouyomir artist tag, I suppose? I say that because I’m very unsure if it was deleted and if it wasn’t could you please merge that to the name kouyo.

"Kouyo" is too generic. It should have been qualified.
(I'll do it at the other thread)

create alias ohtado -> oota_takeshi

same website. admins please help (iykyk)

(i don't)

For what it's worth: while the latter tag is the name of the artist at the former links, I'm hesitant to accept this on my own because I wasn't able to find anything linking the latter's Pixiv to the shared website. It's also worth noting that the original website was once removed from the latter tag and later readded.

In all the updates to the site I've checked since 2013, I've never found a time when the latter Pixiv account was linked; the first time Pixiv showed up on the site, it was the former's. The Pixiv and Twitter have remained consistently the same since they were added. So I'm not sure if I've missed a real connection or if this was a link-by-association/name.

Will need a second check, but I figure I offer what I saw if that helps lead anyone anywhere.
