Request to delete artist with unverifiable identity - "Shohei Ono"

I’d like to request the deletion of the following artist entry:

This entry lists the name “Shohei Ono” as the legal name of the Vocaloid producer “Neru”, but there is no reliable or verifiable source confirming this. The only linked reference is VGMdb (Shohei Ono - VGMdb), which also lacks citation or evidence.

This name does not appear in official interviews, press releases, or credible databases. Since the entry may have been created based on speculation or misinformation, and it doesn’t seem to be referenced by any unique release or recording, I believe it qualifies for deletion.

Please let me know if further clarification is needed. Thank you.

I don’t know the history here, but usually it is “merge, not delete” as a general rule. I’d just setup a merge of the bogus name into the real one to wipe out the error.
