I have to say I agree, it looks inappropriate to me. There are no standards on Misc. the way there are on other tabs and it's clear that that's causing the problem.

This is not the first time that the topic was brought up. I recall a while back that someone else also suggested we remove anything that is nothing more than artist fanart from the wiki, since it was going to cause problems. As I recall the justification for keeping it (aside from that we were using some of Ichika's fanart for infobox images, which isn't a problem anymore) was that these pieces of fanart could be considered "concept art" on the part of the illustrator. Although the fact that we don't put them in the concept art tab probably betrays that notion, since it's not actually concept art except for how the artist personally is conceptualizing the character.

So yeah, it probably is a problem, especially since none of it is labeled properly (although labelling them properly would not solve all the problems) I mean, I'm looking at the page for The Song I Heard Somewhere, and I suddenly realize that it looks an awful lot like we're saying that Ichika's visualization for the event, as Seth standing just outside the forest with the stuffed cat, is the correct one by just calling it an "illustration" for the song. I'm pretty sure someone got confused over that already.

My vote is like the anon's. Either we take it off the wiki completely, or we can somewhat justify putting them on artist pages. That, or we limit the amount of fanart that is included in Misc. since we limit the amount of art is on the other tabs (with or without adding the rest to illustrator pages) and it's clear that adding every single one of these illustrations is not going to add to an understanding of the series and its official content.

This isn't all about what we "like" to see. As with any of these policies, what we personally like should come last as a deciding factor.
