Things in a comic series being deleted when previous parts of the comic series has already been of similar quality, with the artist having shown that they are well capable of drawing competent art is pretty, how to say it? Silly, yes, it is silly.
We have already gone through this song and dance when it comes to DELIBERATELY badly drawn comics with artists that are fully capable of drawing better. If the comic was initially allowed, the comic stays unless the drop in quality became way worse than before. Has this somehow changed the past 3-4 years when this discussion was last had?

It's important to note that this comic has never been approved. It was being uploaded by someone with unlimited upload privileges, allowing it to bypass the mod queue. There's a big difference between something being "allowed" because someone was willing to approve it vs someone with the ability to upload almost anything they want without needing it to be approved. If the currently active posts were flagged, there's a good chance they wouldn't be reapproved, if the state of the recent uploads are any indication.

As I recall, the argument for undeleting posts in a comic series only ever applied to comics that were intended to be read in sequence, where the absence of individual pages would leave plot holes or missing context for subsequent pages. I don't believe it ever applied to comics where each page is its own standalone episode. See forum #75912.
Besides, deleted posts still show up when navigating pools via the prev/next links so it's a moot point. Even if a particular post is essential for reading a comic series, it doesn't really matter if it's deleted or not.
