I'm not providing any stylistic or quality criticism, however I must ask, is this your own work? If so that's reason enough not to approve. If you made it, post it on DeviantArt. If you don't like DeviantArt, start a blog.

It's missing a copyright, source, and artist. This falls below very basic tagging standards, on top of being an art style which isn't exactly hugely popular to begin with (pixel art is hard to get approved here, in my experience).
It's also a VERY small sprite as well, and I wouldn't call it "high quality" for pixel art, especially since I can't tell much about the sprite thsre.

Not much liking the anatomy on the first, but the second is perfectly fine, so I went ahead and approved it.

It's not.

I try to source all images I upload, but I couldn't find anything for this one. I thought the image was good enough to meet the site's standards, but I might've been wrong.
Should I just not upload images if I can't find enough information to meet minimal tagging standards?

I'd say this day and age, sourcing images (and providing information about artists) is extremely important given how much content is out there on the internet. But if it's an old image on your hard drive or something, then we can't fault you for it.
You can always use source request, copyright request, character request, etc. if you're at a loss, but try not to use them too much and continue to tag your uploads best as you can.

At the very least, I'd have added the copyright (or original if it's not based on a popular copyright) to it. But as I said earlier, it isn't very high quality or memorable enough to get approved, IMO.
Also post #2599372 - it was good enough for the character designer of Fire Emblem but not good enough for here? smh
With 8 mods reviewing and apparently not liking this I guess it's not worth putting in the appeal thread... But the question is... why? I don't see anything wrong with it.
So I took a 7-week sabbatical, my ratio went back up.
Started posting, ratio started going WAY up.
Aaaaand now it's back to 10/day (which, with the 24hr limit, fucks me over big-time) :|
It really feels like the entire system is a slippery-slope, with deletions (non-approved posts) fucking you over without realising.
So with post #2583479 I had uploaded it thinking that even if the proportions were a bit off, that the image was fine thanks to it being from Megami which images from are pretty much always approved and that I had seen similar images be approved with no issue. Clearly this wasn't the case, given it's deletion, which I'm totally fine with. But in the future, should I scrutinize images from said sources just as much as any other image, whether uploading them myself or with other people's uploads from those?
