Topic: [REJECTED] Tag implication: noir_(sonicdash) -> noir_the_bat

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag implication #65665 noir_(sonicdash) -> noir_the_bat has been rejected.

Reason: Fan character OC of Rouge's mother, creator (SonicDash) has been inactive since 2018, so credit can be mentioned in tag description instead of the tag itself

EDIT: The tag implication noir_(sonicdash) -> noir_the_bat (forum #425381) has been rejected by @spe.

I don't think a character owner being inactive is a good reason to not use them as a disambiguating suffix. They still created the character even if they're no longer around. We also try to avoid <name>_the_<species> or <name>_(<species>) style tags (if it's not their official branding) since characters can be depicted as an alternate_species and would use the same character tags.

Yeah, what? Why would we ever remove a character creator's name from a tag just because they've been inactive for 5 years?

Even if it was 100 years ago and the character design had fallen into public domain, the creator would still be the best disambiguator for a common name.
