Something I've been wondering - images should only be tagged with an artists name if they actually drew the image themselves. In the case of game CGs, does the artist (e.g. Tony Taka, Noizi Itou etc) draw the CGs themselves, or does the game company produce them based on the original artists character designs? Or is it more a case-by-case thing?
Well, either way, what a person would be searching Danbooru for would be the artist's style, which should be the same whether it was the original artist or a copy of their style, right?

It's also informative, like in this case I saw the image and immediately thought "this is either Taka Tony or a huge ripoff", and in this case it IS Taka Tony. If we tag both his work and his derivatives as being "taka_tony", it will be horribly confusing.
Also, it's way subjective--what is "Taka Tony style"?
