The tag alias #56756 xeno -> alien has been rejected.

Reason: The word "Xeno" is itself typically a prefix to another word.
xeno is used in the same way as alien, which is redundant.
xeno is also the first four letters for xenomorph; new taggers may confuse the two.

EDIT: The tag alias xeno -> alien (forum #328924) has been rejected by @bitWolfy.

So the proper next step would be to alias xeno to xeno_(disambiguation)?

This current alias request needs to be rejected, then a BUR can alias xeno to xeno_(disambiguation) and set the category of xeno_(disambiguation) to invalid.

Word of advice: never hide a Request thread. It doesn't deny the request, it just trolls other users who were conversing about it.
