The Demon Artist, Kazuma Kaneko
The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure)

The page is a duplicate of Kazuma Kaneko. I appreciate a lot of work has been put into this version, but it isn't clear that the title "The Demon Artist" is widely used as a formal title for this person by secondary sources. That the title is a moniker that is sometimes paired with his name doesn't seem enough to me. For instance, the Megami Tensei wiki does not mention the title, and does not use it to refer to the artist, which suggests to me that this isn't the best way to refer to the person. This is the first time I've attempted to do the deletion process, so thanks for your patience if this is a bit clunky, and thanks also in advance for your thoughts on this.

 * Speedy delete As WP:A10. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:43, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * After checking it more, I suggest a history merge with the original article instead, it appears to be a cut and paste move and expansion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I suggest withdrawing this Afd and requesting a history merge for the page instead. If the creator has an issue with the name they can go to WP:RM but that will almost certainly fail. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:02, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree, merging is also a good way. However I don't understand why the user duplicated the article and even tried to redirect the original article to the one he/she created. Timothytyy (talk) 09:55, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I assume they are a new editor who is unfamiliar with the ability to move pages, naming protocols, or the idea of WP:CONSENSUS. They attempted to do a cut and paste move to a name they thought was better but which goes against the need for conciseness. Of course, we do not name articles of people after their best known trait, such as "The Undertale developer, Toby Fox". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Zxcvbnm. Merging can also be possible. And why is there a redirect in Kazuma Kaneko? Kazuma Kaneko is a better title for the article. Timothytyy (Talk) 08:22, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm having trouble merging the page to the original article hence the reason for the different title. I apologize and I'm working on getting things fixed. Unclebenny 713 (talk) 20:15, 30 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Withdraw and hist merge per Zxc. Original creator is a student editor through a WikiEdu course who appears to have made a good-faith but incorrect c&p move to change the title. The fastest solution is for to withdraw the nom so a histmerge can take place (which is not allowed while AFD is still open). We shouldn't have to wait 7 days for the AFD to close to fix this.
