I wouldn't spend too much time discussing labels in the Rejected section. Over the years, they have all been sorted out because they turned out not to be banana labels. The only reason they are still in the catalog is that someone once believed they might be banana labels. If I deleted them completely, the explanations why they were rejected would be lost as well.
