Topic: Artist with a half dozen aliases

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I stumbled upon an artist with several different aliases scattered around e621. I'm not sure how this should be handled, so I tagged all their aliases on post #1189293 temporarily. I'm looking for suggestions on the proper way to handle this case.

Below are sources confirming that these are all aliases belonging to one person:

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lilnyams/ (Their main platform, some more aliases/links found in their description)

Since they sign most of their artwork with 'Pilitan', I'm assuming this is their primary name.

Full list of names I've found:
Pilitan, lilnyams, 5petsnaz, lewdkitt, tandemm, nyamokud

It appears 3 of these names were in use on e621 (Pilitan, Tandemm, Lilnyams).
Should all these names be aliased to automatically turn into Pilitan? Or should every single alias be implied in the artist section? Let me know what you guys think.

What is the most commonly used / recent name for this artist? All names should be aliased to that one.

Take the most popular name or artists preferred name and alias all of them to it. Suggest one name to be aliased to it, then list the rest in the reason field.
lewdkitt -> pilitan
other names that need to be aliased: (names)

Thanks for your prompt reply.

All of their artwork that I've seen, including their most recent posts, have been hard-signed with 'Pilitan'. I'm not sure what was created most recently, though. Pilitan seems like a safe bet nonetheless.

Thank you for the advice, I'll go ahead and do that.
