It is understandable that you grief and mourn the loss of the artwork, but let mw explain and you might see why it was decided to delete all of his and the majority of other art on the wiki.

Algrim, despite his claims, did not 'create' these art works. He pieced them together from individual pieces of other art, mainly GW's own, but also fan-made. This was most evident in the Space Marine images he produced. As you can imagine, cutting other people's work apart and rearranging it to pose it as one's own creation without getting tjeir consent or giving them credit is not only morally questionable but also an infringement on copyright.

Likewise, others used art in their articles which they had not bought, produced or gotten permission to use, thus also violating copyright and possibly drawing repercussions from their rightful owners.

This was a potential risk for this wiki and the wikia platform behind, hence we changed our policy so that every image you upload here must be properly licensed and sourced. Every image failing to do so will be deleted.
