You might want to review the rules you agreed to when you signed up, particularly the prohibited and restricted content section.

And what rule does that picture violate?

uploading one's own art i believe since the user name and tag match.

AFAIK it's not forbidden, but just "frowned up" or something like that.

Too much higher scrutiny. And I'm really wavering for three days now if I should approve it. It really isn't bad in my eyes.

But the uploader should be contacted if they continue, @flippyz15

I've never seen a case like this where it gets approved so i assumed it was outright forbidden.

I have. Its rare, but it happens; theres a repeated discussion just like this, the picture is approved/deleted, people eventually forget and the loop starts all over again.

That was silly of the uploader, why wouldn't s/he just create a sock puppet account with another name and upload it using that? It's easily done. Or have it someone else upload it. Damn, how silly of him/her.

This is actually good art though.

Exactly.
Like I said: Uploading own art is frowned upon, off course. The image per se looks absolutely fine, though. And because this flag reason doesn't mention quality issues, I think it's just again a hardline flag.

I think the quality is fine enough to be passed.
If this is getting rejected because of self-uploading, then I believe the rule should be changed to just "prohibited" not "may be disputable".

Reapproved this, it's good enough art to overlook the self-upload; so long as the uploader does not do it again.
