Forum:Different Artists Renditions

Recently several images from spin offs or special chapters have been added to show some characters drown in a different way:


 * Alvida and Buggy from Roronoa Zoro Falls Into the Sea.
 * Zeff, Patty, and Carne from Shokugeki no Sanji.

When uploaded, I added a Delete to each of them, claiming that we shouldn't have images of every rendition from different artists, since that would open up the door to many irrelevant images since as far as I've seen, every appearance image is meant to show a character appearance during to story or merchandise (like games, color walks, shorts...) but if we allow images from different artists then what's to stop users from uploading:


 * Images from WSJ promotions or One Piece events from here for example.
 * Images from Usopp Gallery Pirates from readers and fans.
 * Appearances images from joke stories like One Piece Party, Chin Piece, One Piece in Love, and One Piece: Kobiyama Who Looks Like Koby - Two Piece in a Pod.

When I talked about it with User:Kaizoku-Hime, they claimed the images are fine since we have pages for those special chapters, but as linked above, we have pages for several other sources. Hime also suggested to talk about it so here we are: Should we allow images from any artist, works with a page, or non at all? Rhavkin (talk) 08:30, December 23, 2019 (UTC)

I say we should add such images into each respective gallery, since they show how a different artist would draw out a character's appearance. 09:52, December 23, 2019 (UTC)

Images from one-off illustrations/tributes should not be allowed. Official spin-off stories seem fine, assuming the characters actually look different from the main story. 10:06, December 23, 2019 (UTC)

Zoro's seem to me exactly like a one-off tribute since it is a redesign of a chapter, and Sanji's is a special, not much of a spin-off. Either way, determining what is "official" is very similar to what is "canon". How would you define "official"? Rhavkin (talk) 14:19, December 23, 2019 (UTC)
