create alias artist:oscar_bautista -> artist:Kiros

First, you don't have to put the artist: prefix in alias requests. Just do alias oscar_bautista -> kiros.
Second, we have an existing forum thread (topic #7713) for submitting artist aliases. There's no need to make a new one.
Third, our artist naming policy is to prefer full names over nicknames, for uniqueness's sake. We aren't necessarily inflexible in that regard, but when artists want to make requests of us (e.g., to ban their work from this site), they get better results by doing it themselves rather than letting a third party do the asking.
Understood, thanks then and sorry for bothering! I wasn't really sure about it since I recall reading that at least 50 (approved) entries needs to be uploaded first before such a thing can take place, unless this have changed already.
Right, thought it will work… I do it pre-emptively since so many (same) entries exists under various prefixes, now I wasn't sure how to create new categories (general:) when artist or copyright or even character with such a name exists, as after update they would still show the old way.
Of course I have informed him about that! He was generally surprised you went with his full name, as he used all those aliases. Me personally I would be freaked out as I never ever give my real name on the intrnets ^^.
