Aliasing auvere → kei_(artist)
Link to alias

Reason:

Artist has been using "Kei" as signature for a significant portion of posts and is their (user)name on most websites. "Auvere" had not been used for 3 years.

Also the artist name of the existing posts that are currently tagged with `kei_(artist)`) is actually `iro_suzume`

create alias auvere (11) -> elly_(artist) (199)
create alias kei_(artist) (0) -> elly_(artist) (199)
create alias keipaws (1) -> elly_(artist) (199)

Reason: Oh boy, this one's a mess.

So at first there was the kei_(artist) tag. As OP notes, this was incorrectly applied to iro_suzume posts. The last such use was 11 years ago and every attempt to apply the tag since then has concerned the subject of this BUR.

There was also (briefly) the keipaws tag, which Pixiv reveals used to be the name of a long-banned Twitter account. https://inkbunny.net/keipaws is also a valid URL, although it now redirects. Which brings me to the main point.

This artist has rebranded again. Baraag, Ko-fi, Inkbunny, Pixiv and even the website are all now under the name "Elly", which matches the signature given to recent artwork.

elly_(artist) is not currently a tag. In its place, it appears people have been incorrectly using the ellyart tag. This was created 3 years ago by the user EllyArt, who uploaded 14 posts in 8 hours and then dipped forever. Each one was tagged both ellyart and bigpixelz, the latter being the name of a long-defunct Twitter. Since then, a lot of posts have been tagged "ellyart" to refer to our Elly, despite no evidence that she has ever used that form of the name. There's clearly a lot of confusion here, and it's about time e621's tags caught up with reality.
