Images that were deleted from Pixiv

Someone on a server I'm in posted some pictures I wanted to use for captions, but according to saucenao.com the original art on Pixiv isn't there anymore. Are you allowed to use those for captions, and if so what would I put in the source tab? And if not would I need to find an alternate place they were posted to use as source?

Is the account that posted it still up? It's possible that it broke some rule on Pixiv and either the post or account (Depending on which) was taken down. I have no clue how long it's been deleted, but it's also possible it was taken down and the artist is trying to appeal, since it can take up to a day for the appeal to go through.

In that case you can put the dead pixiv link and tag dead_source
