I approve the name change. If it is possible to just overwrite or merge the target name (Davi Medrade) instead of renaming it to a dummy, I think that would be best, considering that what I'm asking here is essentially for the previous rename, which was Davi Medrade → David Santos, to be reverted. Davi Medrade ( talk) 15:09, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

David Santos Since it is an exchange between 2 names it is not possible to create references automatically. Can you create the referrals yourself? Neriah ( talk) 16:36, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

@ TheBigBookOfNaturalScience, I'll tell you the truth, I've read the policy page, but I'm still undecided about names that I haven't seen explicitly objected to, but they seem strange to me. In such cases, I skip the request, hoping that others will handle these requests. The biggest problem is that I'm the only one handling requests on this page, and if not, no one will...

After much deliberation, I decided to trust that the username didn't seem terrible to me, and trust that you were familiar with the policy (I saw that you have "reviewer" permission, and that you're also a very veteran editor), and take care of the request. And therefore,

• Reason: I'd like to run a bot as "KamusiBot" to edit Wiktionary (Kamusi means dictionary in Swahili). It's custom to own the "Foo" account when editing as "FooBot", so I'd like to take over "Kamusi", which hasn't made any edits. Note: my main account is "Tbm". I'd like to run the bot under a different account because I want to co-run the bot with a friend. These are not sockpuppet accounts and will be documented properly once approved.

This is to confirm that I'm "Tbm" and I'm in control of KamusiBot and the KamusiBotOwner user which I'd like to rename to Kamusi. Once I have access to these accounts, I will go through the Wiktionary vote process to get approval to run a bot as "KamusiBot". Let me know if there are any questions. tbm ( talk) 07:32, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Just to add that I've obtained approval to run KamusiBot as bot on Wiktionary, so it would be good to get control of the Kamusi account. (I'm aware this request is on hold and there's no hurry; I'm merely adding this information.) tbm ( talk) 10:33, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

The username you have chosen is associated with the Wikipedia:Esperanza project, which is officially inactive. I'm not entirely sure about proceeding with this request, but let's see what other renamers think. In my opinion, it might be a good idea to proceed, considering the account hasn't made any edits in articlespace, and the project itself is no longer active. Additionally, there are no edits on the account related to this project. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 13:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

@ DreamRimmer: To note, the target user has made two edits to mainspace ( here and here), but they're fairly minor edits that shouldn't preclude usurpation. As for the other edits, mere inactivity isn't enough to permit usurpation, but for the record, the user page award page was nominated at MfD with the consensus that it was "a complete waste of time". I would be fine with usurpation. — k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 23:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

In this case, your requested username is very similar to your current username, so I don't see any problem here. – DreamRimmer ( talk) 18:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
