I wanted to tag kabuto (the helm), but it turns out it's already taken by a (not particularly big) artist. Any particularly good ideas as to how to disambiguate them?

Unless another kabuto artist exists that we know of we could use kabuto_(artist), otherwise kabuto_(kabutosan631) would work from his/her pixiv username, or we could even use use the username: kabutosan631 or some varient thereof.

Qualify the helm, and rename the artist to kabuto-san?

I wouldn't say we should qualify the general object. The artist isn't highly entrenched, and general items trump artists anyway. I'd just give the helm the base tag.

There's a kabuto_(helmet) tag already... through it only has one post.

Neither is highly entrenched. The qualifier should stick, to disambiguate the two uncommon tags.

I guess I'm asking why qualify what doesn't need qualified. The artist has only 2 undeleted posts. I don't see how that is sufficient enough to require we qualify a noun.

I definitely think the helmet should get priority over the artist. I guess just kabutosan631 is good, as there's a high chance we'll get another artist called "kabuto" at some point in the future.

Made kabuto general, moved the one kabuto_(helmet) tag into it, added a simple wiki, and moved the artist to kabutosan631. The one deleted image was of the pokemon, which we already have a kabuto_(pokemon) tag for.
