I do not believe this post and all related variants need the loli tag, the characters are petite, not lolis.

But as the rules say get consensus first, ill ask here before making the decision to revert.

The rules don't say anything about getting a consensus. The loli/shota wikis only say to ask if you're unsure. If you're certain then you don't need to ask about it, though it doesn't hurt either. If you change it and it gets changed back then you should definitely seek some additional opinions on it rather than get into an editing war.

I'm in favor of that set staying loli, however.

I'm leaning yes on both of those. Maybe the second one could pass for petite, but I think it's pretty borderline at least.

Inconsistent loli tagging on post #8494229 and child. Not sure which one is correct.

Leaning yes on this one as well.

I think the second it's right as petite/aged up since Chino Kafuu (the character of the mentioned pic) is originally a child,

She’s 13 at the start of the series and she looks that age in both official art and that post, which is why it’s borderline. Even if she were a child in canon, being depicted as slightly older doesn’t necessarily mean the loli tag can’t apply.

in case of the Pearl one (https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/6486583) i'm confused if is the same case...

I’m not sure about that one either. I’m leaning toward flat-chested adult myself, but watching the entire series may have introduced some biases.

The question you should ask is “If I show this to someone who has never seen this character before, will they think it’s an adult or a child?”.

She doesn't look that much older than she does in official appearances, to me. It might be borderline but I still think it leans closer to loli than not.

My answer to this question is yes. Even having seen the show myself, her proportions in that post don't match her show proportions, and look more childlike. I think the other post being discussed is more borderline (in favor of petite) than this one is. This one feels pretty unambiguous to me.

It may sound stupid, but Pearl is older in the show but flat, and that's what made me wondering (there's aged up and aged down in those cases).

Another that may look borderline is this: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3150855
