BUR #40260 has been rejected.

rename ryuukishi07 -> ryukishi07
rename ryuukishi07_(style) -> ryukishi07_(style)
rename ryuukishi07_(person) -> ryukishi07_(person)

his name is written with one u, couldn't find any evidence to support his name could be written with two u's so i'm just assuming it was a mistake.

It's probably from back when danbooru used its own romanization rules, as per howto:romanize. The name in Japanese does indeed have an long u sound. Though now there's no reason not to use their official spelling.

I'd prefer if these were aliases instead, since the artist tag is almost a decade old.

竜騎士07 is read りゅうきし07 (ryuukishi07)

Edit: I would support this as an alias, though.
Edit2: Where did the single u version even originate? As far as I can tell, he's never provided an "official" romanization. The earliest examples I can find are from ANN and Wikipedia, neither of which I would consider an official source for this.

i don't believe it's 'official' as ryukishi refers to himself as 竜騎士07 in his blog posts, but i'd say it's enough that almost every source calls him ryukishi07 with one u (wikipedia, steam, 07th wiki)

Downvoting because there's no way we should be renaming tags as old as these instead of aliasing them. I'd imagine the closest thing we could find to an official romanization would be to look through the credits of the translations for the visual novels.

i think the best thing would be to rename the tags and just alias the old ones to the new ones

That's what making an alias would do. Renaming it and then creating aliases is just accomplishing the same thing with extra steps.

The style and person tags can be renamed but the artist tag absolutely should not be. I believe style tags are also automatically moved if the artist tag is, or I might be misremembering.

Yes, style tags are moved automatically.
