We
close the request if the unknown is a recognised unknown
at VEF. Which means there is already an open id request for the same person. That other request remains open.
The reason for closing the new request and not the old one is one of convention, the overall effect would be similar if the new request was kept open and the old one closed (this actually has happened on VEF in a small number of cases when a newer mystery box entry was kept instead of the older equivalent one).
If the unknown is a recognised unknown outside VEF (egafd, iafd, ...) that can still be recognised as a solve (meaning: give credit to the solver in the HOF game), but should not lead to a close-of-thread, because the unknown would typically have no place inside VEF to collect further info, whether it's pictorial material or personal information. If they do have a separate thread in VEF, that's another matter.

a working name at a maybe random publisher is still more of an ID as a model who is just called "unknown xxx".

Not in general. A case in point where I was absolutely fuming about this supposedly superior naming was when at some point on VEF egafd's XNK1600 was re-christedned here "Heidi@CC". What did those names tell us? Her Heidi credentials was in _one_ pictorial of one mag of the CC stable in which her _character_ was called Heidi and her partner Professor Schultz; so the mag did not even pretend that it was her real name. What did XNK1600 tell us? It told us that she appeared in early German sex films, at least 8 feature film length movies.
The other thing is that the "unknown xxx" tags are
honest. They say: we do not know
the name of this model, though we do know about her professional output. We know that she appeared in this or that mag with highly dubious names attached to her, just see the pictorials we have collected for her; she also appeared in movies X, Y and Z, completely anonymously. If you grew up with "The Prisoner" and find numeric names offensive, fine - invent a fresh name for her, use that as the thread title, but document the invention in the first post of the thread.
