BUR #47212 has been rejected.

remove alias toridrill -> hattori_shouta
create alias toridrill -> pama

There was zero links between Toridrill and Hattori Shouta before forum #271041 went through. Toridrill is still actively used by Pama, including the jugem URL which was added to Pama back when the artist entry was first created!

Only post that had the arttags changed when the BUR went through was post #1470217. Don't know enough on the artbook to say what arttag it should have.

Based on pixiv #37469567, pixiv #37618639, pixiv #37627530 and https://kurikuri-boy.hatenadiary.org/entry/20130808/1375937963 (where it is stated that both Hattori Shouta and Pama worked on a Precure fan book as writer and character designer), it might be more likely that Toridrill is the name of a circle, so the alias may not necessarily be wrong but I probably wouldn't have aliased it either and just left it at disambiguating soy with the rename.

create alias ki_tako -> kabaji

Tag was manually moved back in 2022, not fully convinced myself though.

I'm not convinced either except for the Instagram account which does link to the accounts found in kabaji but I did not find anything, old or new, that links back to the handle "kiitiiaiikiioii". Downvoting this one for now and moved the Instagram independently to kabaji.

BUR #47200 has been approved by @WRS.

create alias roudou_zero -> zero_(zerousagi)

same twitter?

Added by a bot. I am aware of three artist entry bots/scripts that have been ran to date: DakuTree's (regarding forum #385849), NNT's (most 2020 additions are by recursively crawling) and NekoAria's (which we told him to fix issues with added links and verify his bot's changes). Though more information will be needed about DakuTree's because I don't wholly trust every change.

I usually can't find any link between artist entries besides the (erroneous?) URLs added by said user; do you think it would be ok for me to remove these URLs in these instances?

Which is why I would be careful attempting this, if not just not doing it (and hoping that a different builder would have better judgement than to blindly accept because a link appears in two places). By that point you'll be crawling all the links yourself enough that you could be doing self-service more. Keeping potentially erroneous/seemingly-disconnected links has personally helped me able to approve most of the links that I do, either because a connection is actually still alive or there is an old one I can dig up. A safer route may be to figure out a proper separation.

Verifying some of these later ones is a bit more difficult due to expired links and trying to keep the topic clean so it's still easy to follow discussion or refer back to (my) earlier replies in case I try again or someone else does. Splitting the topic really did help so there's less pages to go through after scrolling bot replies and discussions but ultimately there's still so much of a mess left behind to clean. Really, if it's unverifiable, there's no issue in leaving them separated.

I don't envy the admins if artist stuff is a fraction of what it's like to do BURs across all other categories of tags.
