Talk:List of Touhou Project characters

Usage of Fan Art
Why is Fan Art being used to represent characters, seemingly random ones at that? One (Remilia) even appears to be poor recreation (https://preview.redd.it/7ulnwp5p8fg71.png?auto=webp&s=dba431e547dfa845368322a5e712aa1f6f5a8aba) of a face made in an NSFW dojin which I'm pretty sure constitutes vandalism and copyright infringement. The "Taisei Project" images are mostly placed beside random insignificant characters. The AI generated Sakuya fan art also shouldn't be here given past image deletions on this very page. Again, what is fan art even doing on a page about the official works?

It seems this has become a dumping grounds for people to make jokes or put in non-official pictures of their favorite characters. All of them besides Reimu and Marisa, the only non-fan-art pieces, should be deleted. I'm unsure of how to submit images for deletion though. At least one them requires Speedy Deletion (the trace). --Hisouhihisouten (talk) 06:02, 21 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree that the use of fanart is ridiculous (among many other issues with the page) and that it would be proper to remove them all. After some investigation I believe fanart started being used due to copyright issues with using official art. You can see a large debate about this on the AI Rumia deletion, where some are worried that Wikipedia can't host the image due to rights issues. Of course, since there are still Reimu and Marisa images, there does not seem to be much consistency on the matter.
 * The fanart being used is credited as the own work of Wikipedians. Furthermore, the Taisei Project art pieces come from a free and open source fangame, which makes it convenient to use the art in regards to legality. If you look at the Reimu and Marisa files, you can see that there has been effort to justify it as fair use. Therefore, it makes sense for editors to take the easier route of fanart/free art if they want to add images.
 * Someone more knowledgeable on image policy should comment, but I agree that the fanart should be removed regardless of Wikipedia policy to maintain the quality of the page. Paragonicus (talk) 13:05, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I thought the bigger issue would be consistency. Reimu and Marisa get their images from an actual game (even if said game is UFO), so why doesn't everyone else, or at least the more notable ones (like Reisen and Yukari)?
 * Unless image quality is considered an issue, in which case everyone up to UFO who hasn't appeared on a spinoff gets the short end of the stick. For the Windows era, that probably only means Rumia, Daiyousei, Koakuma, and Eiki. cogsan (talk) 11:25, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Touhou 19
This page needs to be updated as of August 13th 2023, as a new Touhou Project game has come out, containing multiple new characters, as well as updated art for some of them. 13 Rats (talk) 18:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
