Stemming from a request at [[:w:WP:CHUU]], if you would like to "usurp" an SUL, would that be at all possible? In this case, the target username has no global contributions, however there is an SUL. Although stewards can delete SULs, I don't think that even under these circumstances it would happen, but I'm asking for further clarification.

Uncommon question about assigning a 'dead' account
Hello there, I'm a german Wikipedia user de:User:Onetwo / Stats. Recently I've stumbled upon the SUL feature, and got amazed by the idea immediately. I've tried to upgrade my account, but at the beginning of the merge process I realized that an account with the same name does already exist in the en-Wikipedia. And now I'm not sure if I registered that account in 12/05 and never used it, or if it wasn't me. I've registered my de-Wikipedia account in 04/06. I'd like to ask if it would be possible to rename that dead Onetwo account in the en-Wikipedia so that I could get registered in the en-Wikipedia with that name? I know, this is an unusual request, but if it is possible, what would be the next steps I should take? PS: I hope my request does not violate any en-Wikipedia law?

Unused SUL accounts
Stemming from a request at w:WP:CHUU, if you would like to "usurp" an SUL, would that be at all possible? In this case, the target username has no global contributions, however there is an SUL. Although stewards can delete SULs, I don't think that even under these circumstances it would happen, but I'm asking for further clarification. demize (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
