remove alias ニョタ (0) -> lightria (0)
remove alias swj6234 (0) -> lightria (0)
remove alias nyota82 (0) -> lightria (0)
remove alias nyota (0) -> lightria (0)

Reason: Actually, I think all of this should be reversed.

• ニョタ (lit. "niyota") is the artist's display name on Pixiv
• pixiv.me/swj6234 redirects to the same Pixiv account
• nyota82 seems to be a former Tumblr account
• nyotapakpak is the Twitter account linked from the Pixiv account
• nyotaice is a former Twiter name; https://twitter.com/nyotaice/status/1111585536391536640 redirects to https://twitter.com/nyotapakpak/status/1111585536391536640
• syansyan is an inactive DeviantArt account - might as well throw it in since it got tagged the same number of times as "swj6234"

The only name I was unable to find any source for was... lightria. It appears it may have been invented out of whole cloth by an unknown third party in 2013.

topic #2901 claims, without proof, that lightria is "the most used name, twitter name, and tag on derpibooru". There is a LightRia on Twitter and Pixiv, but they appear to be entirely unrelated and do not draw anything relevant to this site.

As for Derpibooru, the tag "lightria" has been aliased into syansyan, along with nyota and nyota82. I don't know how to track tag alias history on that site so I can't tell you how that decision was made. I tried searching the forums for "lightria", which returned 0 results. I did find the post where the nyota alias was made but that doesn't really help. The most I can offer is that the earliest use of "lightria" as a tag on Derpibooru appears to predate the earliest use on e621 by just one month.

The nyota alias is also problematic for different reasons. There are quite a few characters called Nyota, and indeed all three results currently in lightria status:deleted have been subject to a takedown from the Inkbunny user NyotaMwuaji. See also the removal log. I think a nyota_(artist) tag would be sufficiently unambiguous to sort out all this mess.
