We don't care about the Pixiv tags or that the artist tagged this as Miku. This is Danbooru. We have or own rules for tagging images. The girl in this image doesn't look any thing like Miku or any other Vocaloid. And I bet that most people here would agree. Respect the tagging rules of Danbooru! PLEASE!

You have no idea about what you're saying. Artist says it's X. Then it's X.
I'd have to agree that if the artist says it's based on Hatsune Miku, then it'd make sense to include the tag. It isn't all that odd for there to be a copyright tag with the original tag, if the original is based on material from the copyright. Additionally if an artist says a character is a trap, and there is no way of telling, we go with what the artist says it is. So if we do it for that situation, I think it makes a lot of sense to follow what the artist says it is here.
Leave the Miku tag on. There is no reason not to tag it Miku if the artist explicitly states that it is Miku. "Tag what you see" is indeed one of out core tenets, but it's not something that you need to follow with utterly, completely dogmatic devotion, all exceptions be damned. For identifying characters, artist comments are often very important.
Artist always has the last say in anything. If an artist Draws a Yue and people say it looks like Patchouli. Then you dont tag it as Patchouli, you tag it as Yue. If an artist draws Link and says its just Zelda cosplaying. You say its Zelda cosplaying as Link, its not Link.
