There is one case when a seiyuu photo should not be deleted: if another post (a drawing, typically a seiyuu_joke) makes a direct reference to the photo (pose, clothing, setting...). I cannot find an example, yet I think I have seen one in the past. Such references should be parent/childed.
None of the seiyuu photo images have parent/child relations and I didn’t recognise any possible references.

Seiyuu photos are not off-topic. Neither on-topic, to be precise. They are in grey zone, together with other photos like cosplay or zun ones. This means they are not completely forbidden, but they better have something really interesing inside or else.
Danbooru is supposedly for “high quality anime art” and most of these posts don’t have any, so I’d say they’re off-topic and many of the deleted seiyuu posts agree with me. Also it Seems like several of the non-deleted photos were approved by the same now-demoted user.
[...], but every flagging should be done by single post basis, [...]. For example from seiyuu photo -cosplay I'm finding posts like post #492291 post #473001 post #125126 defintely worth keeping.
Agreed. That’s why I said “almost all”, not “all”.
I wouldn't delete kind of educational and already annotated posts like [...]

I think there are better websites with resources about seiyuu than these rather small photos, and I still think they’re off-topic due to lack of anime art.
post #407528 Educational. Totally.
post #118852 Crazy shirt doesn’t make it on-topic for me. Also a rather grainy image.
So here’s the list of seiyuu photos that have no anime art relation at all (exceptions noted):
post #1207
post #1969
post #2952 (Dokuro reference, but that’s it)
post #12062 (lowres anime art, but seiyuu looking rather derp)

Here’s the list of low-quality or off-topic seiyuu cosplay photos that still aren’t anime art and might find a better home on 3Dbooru:
post #60537 (not even cosplayed character or copyright tagged)
post #82702 (does she even cosplay anyone in particular?)
post #116164 (bad image quality or too much obscured)
post #116165 (only half-visible)
post #512408 (generic maid?)
If nobody opposes to this, I’ll just flag them in a few days and let the mod queue decide.
