not sure if they're all the same artist but both 七鍵きすく and nana_kagi artist tags had a link to what i assume was one of kiske_7key's pics on pixiv so i think all 3 names are for the same artist. also, the pic linked on those 2 artist tags is a deleted pic from 七鍵きすく's pixiv profile.

:/ i went ahead and removed the link on the nana_kagi tag since it was deleted but it was the same exact link as the other tag.

I'm not sure about the artist at this point, but for future reference it's usually better to leave the source field even when the source was deleted as it can provide extra information in certain circumstances. For instance, if someone linked to that particular deleted image on a random forum and started talking about how an artist changed names and is now on "x.com under the name y now".

Not a huge deal with pixiv since saucenao is pretty good about keeping track of them, but it's worth mentioning.

yeah, sorry about that. newbie mistake >.> should've thought of that ahead of time but sometimes i come across a artist tag here with lots of pics (obvious connection there) and remove the pic link when it already has the profile linked from the same site as the pic.

Yeah, this is much more important. Please don't do that.

The source field has room for 5 urls for a reason. It's there so we can include multiple ways to track down a particular piece (artist gallery, post page, direct image link, commision post, etc.) if we know them. For instance, if the artist reposted a pic and deleted the old url, it's nice to have the profile page as a backup. If the artist disables their account, the original post or commision page might still be up and can provide extra clues to track them down. The direct image link might give the name of the commissioner, artist, character name, etc.

It's not always consistently added to posts, but it's a good practice to have and it doesn't hurt anything.

This is assuming you don't mean removing a paheal/4chan/etc. link when you have the an artist source already, which is usually fine to remove. Also urls that lead to "page 5 of John_the_artist's FA gallery" are extremely useless as they quickly become wrong, but that's another story.

alright then, i'll keep that in mind from now on.
