Topic: Tag Alias: aikega -> eigaka

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing aikega → eigaka
Link to alias

Reason:

This artist seems to have switched to and is primarily using the name "eigaka" rather than "aikega"...it's the name on his tumblr and pivix accounts which is where he primarily posts nowadays.

EDIT:

Sorry I got pulled away from my PC before I could really finish this. Here are the links to his current accounts:

https://twitter.com/EigakaArt
http://eigakansfw.tumblr.com/
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=5282928

To me it seems he has fully re-branded himself as Eigaka...and thus an alias from his old name (Aikega) to this new one is in order.

Also suggesting:

Aliasing efrejok → eigaka

This is an even older name he used to go under. It's hard to believe because his art style has evolved so much, but it's him as well. If you look at his DA page:

http://efrejok.deviantart.com/

It says he is moving to Eigaka. It's the same guy.

I can't help but feel that it would be simpler to just alias eigaka to aikega, rather than the other way around. The fact is that there's far more of his art here under the aikega handle than there is under his new eikaga handle. I don't know for sure how it works here, but from what I've seen, even when an artist changes their preferred username to something new, their artist tags generally don't get aliased to whatever their new name is.

Of course I could be wrong-- there could be multiple artists whose tags have been updated with their newest names on here and I either haven't noticed or I'm not recalling them off the top of my head. I'm just saying.

Old names get aliased to new names. How much content one tag has isn't really used for determining which tag to use here.

Adding to this.

+1 for the alias of aikega --> eigaka, and not the other way around.

There are NO overlapping posts between the two aliases he posts as, and is relatively inactive on his Aikega pages compared to his Eigaka ones.
They are the same artist, Eigaka just keeps his full-on furry work separate from the rest under an anagram alias.

The only reason there is a lack of Eigaka works here in comparison to Aikega ones is because, under the Eigaka name, he mostly makes solo human and human-on-human works; which are irrelevant to this site.
