Please remove some other oneliners by that user:
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/owns-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wordcount-git/notify/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asciicam-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/current-network-git/

He has a few other packages that are "fewliners" e.g.
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dzen-clock-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/changed-files-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/export-chrome-bookmarks-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/random-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/noise-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webcam-picture-git/
* https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/retry-git/

IMHO at least some of them should be removed too.
