The reason given for its deletion is "It's bad..", but I don't quite see what's so "bad" about it. I do spot jpeg_artifacts, but there are other images on danbooru with jpeg_artifacts that seem to be on the same level that remain intact, so that doesn't seem like it would be what constituted the reason for deletion.
Now that I know about the "deleted:true" thing, and going back through my deleted posts, and... Well, some give me a chuckle, but others I feel semi-nauseus about their continued existence on the servers (those, and the comments I've left on some). </non-construction>
FeKa said: No offense there, but that image is ugly as hell. Isn't about the artifacts, is about the poor quality of an ugly ass...
I don't see what makes it ugly either.
And something seems off about using the words "poor quality" on this, I think it's that presently it seems like thinking it's an ugly ass is subjective while calling it poor quality is objective.
Someone un-deleted it and FeKa flagged it for deletion again, so there's clearly some mixed signals here.
FeKa said: It has 6 favorites but still has a score of -6. I don't know who approved it, but is a "poor quality" picture.
...Previously when I mentioned that I follow some of my images to watch for negative scores, I heard some perfectly fine stuff gets tons of negative marks while some terrible stuff gets up-voted like crazy. That doesn't discount its score as a possible argument for why it should be and remain deleted, but it's not quite an explanation either. And then, of course, there's the other stuff I said.
Thanks to whoever recovered that one. There are other art page scans that were auto-deleted, though; I didn't post the links to them here because I was leaving it to being searched for with deleted:true. I'll post the links to them instead.
And yes, I do realize the mods, admins and janitors have a lot to do and I do appreciate that they're doing this sort of stuff. It's why I ordered the above by best quality to (what I believe to be) least, basically most worthwhile to look at to least.
I'll edit out ones that have been brought back. I wouldn't make so much of a fuss, except there are some (like the first) of characters that would have nothing on danbooru except that art page.
I'm not getting much of an answer... which I do realize you guys are busy, that's why I feel bad for bringing this up so much. I'll stop bothering you guys and just upload the better quality ones I found for consideration if I don't hear anything against it. Thanks again.

The appeal thread is being read. If we agree with undeleting them, we will. We won't necessarily comment on every one. Personally, I don't usually approve the "character design page" type uploads, but that's just me. If another mod/admin/janitor wants to approve it they will.

Ah, okay. I always thought the official character design page/artbook stuff was straight-forward for sure approval material as long as it's good quality.
And I'll be honest with myself, some of it's that aside from the very first one ( post #346920 ), the ones brought back so far seem less meaningful than the ones that haven't been (like the first, of Ouka).
But as I said, since these posts I also found better quality scans; some hitting 1 or more MB, so I can upload those if that would be preferred. This one's more about offering the best I can to danbooru rather than (if some see it this way) trying to "bypass the system," something I would never do intentionally.
Edit: This is also why I haven't uploaded any NEW art scans yet, I'm waiting to see what the stance is with this where if most of these aren't wanted and there aren't other reasons besides 'they're art pages', I won't waste time and danbooru resources uploading the others.
Actually, do you guys mind if I just upload the better quality ones anyway and we forget the ones above? I'd rather do that, and I think they might have a better chance of showing their worthiness if they're better quality. I'm basing this on the two that got brought back in which the art itself isn't as robust as the stuff that didn't get brought back, as it seems like the ones that got back got brought back for being a larger size that allows you to see more details.
