Not doneStampyfanclub. "ArrowPr" sounds like a public relations office, "ArrowProductions" like a company (of which
there are many). Usernames may not represent a group, organisation, or business, a role within them, a product, a service, or a website. Your real name is not required, just something unique to you that represents YOU, not your job. Please read the

@
Cabayi damn, forgot PR could represent public relations. Is it possible to change it to ArrowProds (another of my internet aliases), ArrowPrd, or ArrowAU (Arrow + Australia)? In any case, none of these represents my actual job - Productions was chosen based off of the fact that I am on YouTube, producing videos, and if anything, I'm not even employed, although I understand how it could be misleading. I would've requested Arrow but that's another loophole of account usurpation altogether. Main thing is, I want to remove the Stampyfanclub name and replace it with something somewhat inline with my other internet aliases (generally revolving around arrows).

Reason: I have re-written the article
Cher over the course of four years (2012-2016), and it became a Good Article after my nomination. Maintaining the quality of information and references in the Cher article is my main (and maybe only) interest as a Wikipedia editor. However, having part of my real name in my username has caused me more than a few uncomfortable situations over time. Because of that, I decided to adopt the
stage name of "cherfanclub," which is also the pseudonym I use in all of my other fan projects related to Cher as I have zero interest in taking personal credit for them. I believe that change will prevent said situations from happening again.
