Furronika has a new website, and I want to add it to his artist tag/wiki/whatever the correct term is:
https://e621.net/artists/281

But:
Furronika's status is "Deleted".
And when I click "Edit", e621 shows the error message "This artist entry is inactive and cannot be edited."

Is this something I can fix myself?

I've undeleted the artist for you and added the new website in question.

Thank you!

How and why does an artist become "deleted", if he still has images on e621?
From the history, it looks like a regular member caused the deletion.
(though maybe he had a higher rank at the time)

Pretty sure it's just bad wording, artists that have "Active?" set to false show up as "deleted", even if their posts/accounts aren't deleted. I think it would be better if it said "inactive" instead to avoid confusion. This "deleted" indicator was not present before e621's redesign as far as I'm aware either, I think it just said "Active?: false".

IIRC regular members could set artists to "inactive" before the redesign.
Looks like they've changed that.
