BUR #48252 has been rejected.

create alias ghostenjoyerguy7007 -> kay_yu

200+ posts. Same artist.

These accounts don't link each other and I'm not confident about the edit made to add the links of the former artist tag to the latter one. I think they should be separated out with that edit undone unless a credible link can be found between the two.

I encountered this today and updated the entries to mark a link as dead. All of ghostenjoyerguy7007’s links are dead now, but they’re also in kay yu’s entry because of these edits: 1 & 2. Which haven’t been undone.

The only thing I could find is this tweet from kay yu under a ghostenjoyerguy7007 post.

I've had a number of people message me to ask if this account is my alt since we seem to have the same art style

I would like to finally address the rumors and confirm no. Clearly this account is a ghost enjoyer, but I am a hater, so it is physically impossible for me to be them

So if they’re not the same artist, the edits can be undone now. But even if it was the same person, would this fall under the scenario of an artist keeping their accounts separate for a specific reason?

Edit: oh wait I found this like 10 pages later

Retracting my meh here and upvoting (i.e. I no longer stand by forum #389229). They created this account specifically for Mint Fantome art and cleared most of the content from their main account. There's pretty overt confirmation in text and signature.

Sooo is the BUR good or not? The account is gone.
