Deletion request thread

post #1103622

I flagged this and it was reapproved, but I strongly think it should go. Sure, it may look nice, but think about it - this is a freely-released model for a free program. Just about anybody can make pictures like this, and at quite a few images have been deleted in the past for this very reason.

Really? What program is that? Looks cool.

As for the pic, I don't really think it should go. It looks decent enough, and it's just one pic. It'd be a different story if people suddenly started uploading these by the dozens.

Well, past events seem to be repeating themselves so I think a bit of airing is in order before we have a repeat of the lunar-something case, since the artist in question's a western artist again. Some of us may have seen drsunshine's work uploaded here lately. Regardless of how you feel about his interpretation of Touhou characters (I think it's pretty neat, myself, just so any detractors are clear on that) several of the uploads are definitely nowhere close to quality, but they're getting re-approved anyway. I think it's because they're bundled together with the rest of his work, which pass as artist style in light of having a refreshing interpretation of the characters in my eyes. But that excuse can only go so far. I speak of:

post #1096429: Extremely sloppy work all-around. This is Seem-level reapproval, here. This one, really, is the reason I chose to pursue this.
post #1096386: It's a car, and an extremely crudely-drawn Reimu. Not quality by any means.
post #1096533: It's Shizuha Aki with a chainsaw. 'Kay. We love our crazy chainsaw wielding girls, but between the poor linework and sloppy coloring on her dress I can't see this having been approved as a standalone image. Unless it's the Touhou Effect creeping up again.

Pardon? I'm afraid you lost me.

I'm saying re-approving that image is on the same level as the kind of quality Seem was pushing through that led to him getting canned. Not that "Seem is involved, it must be bad", if that's what you thought I was saying. Just that it seems to be a case where the "mods like it, it stays" defense seems to be letting crap through that is, by all accounts, not Danbooru quality.

Updated

The only issue I had with those in given in the post is the fact that shoddy art is being approved. That is, approval of several pieces of poor work warrants a spot of discussion beyond "I think these are bad" and "No", at least, so I posted about it. The lengthy disclaimer before it was because the hubbub about western art is still fresh in my mind. If it grows into something more then that's one thing, but I don't intend to pursue it further than a bit of discussion if people decide it has merit.

I suppose I tend to be rather wordy though, huh?
