remove alias ag_ss41 -> orenopan2

mightve been a bit too hasty on this one, looks like some of takayuki's URLs got put into ag's entry for some reason back in 2017 by user #23799. can't currently find a link

cue for me to go to bed

Two different recursive URL-fetching bots populated these entries with the same links so I'm more inclined to believe this is correct but I'll meh it for now as a personal reminder to check again later because there's always the off chance that one of them populated wrongly either by itself or by another user's unsubstantiated edit.

I remember the artist once confirmed https://www.pixiv.net/users/3932053 being a sub-account, though I can't find the source anymore.

Also, https://www.pixiv.net/users/3932053 and https://www.pixiv.net/users/964140 list the same profile information (gender, age, birthday, and occupation).

I'd prefer not to accept this under a shaky premise, so I'm going to change to a downvote. It seems clearer to me that they now want to keep these accounts separate. If the aforementioned confirmation or a link between these accounts can be found, you can try the alias again.

create alias nathaniel_himawan -> ninesicks_(nathaniel_himawan)

This artist is much better known by this name, and it's also the name they use on most of their social media accounts.

Make sure you aren't confusing "most common handle" with "preferred name" because those are not the same. This artist goes by their full name on all their accounts, so this alias is wrong. This isn't the first time I've mentioned this to you either on a similar BUR submission; it's needlessly qualifying and changing the name of a tag that is already correct.

Just like the artist uses the alias “nathaniel_himawan” for all their accounts, they also use the alias “ninesicks” literally everywhere. That’s why my idea is to change the tag to include the two names they are most known by, or want to be known by. Also, this isn’t the first time Danbooru has gone with this approach. As I said, this will help make their art more recognizable.
