This seems to be yet another issue with no resolution.

Last talk on this subject had came to the fact the current media policy does not restrict fan art. As previous references made against fan art were using Copyright and Plagiarism section and not image rules. (and even then had no reference to fan art)

DAIFUKKATSU had made a change to add clarification to fan art but later removed because discussion was still on going and far from decided on.

So as of now Media Policy still does not prevent fan art from being used in articles. Though editors are still removing the small amounts of art pieces being submitted to article galleries.

Resolution needs to be made on the subject of this matter instead of dropping subject and just continuing with our submissions and undo practices which are occurring now.

If a separate Fan Art section is to be created then I would recommend it be categorized itself so filtering through pictures is not required and you can click on individual names to get media you desire. And a single link under articles be allowed to point those interested into right direction.

But right now the continuing ban of all Fan Art (and incorrect references being made that it is against Policy) on articles is just not warranted. If it is going to be made policy then make it policy, but don't remove when no policy against it is currently in place.
