Yes, I know about the "fan crops" are okay rule. No, I will not be abolishing that rule.

Recently, there has been a lot of popularity with coach extractions... even though they seem to be less "extraction" and more "crop". This is fine for articles which lack coach extractions in the first place. However, articles with existing official coach extractions (let's say, Call Me Maybe) shouldn't have fancrops there, as they will only clog up the gallery. We don't need 5,000 crops of the same coach in one gallery, especially if the crops are blurry/fuzzy or low-quality.

After the addition of album coaches to our Wiki, the need for coach crops has been reduced. All articles with official coach extractions (be it from websites, from the files) will have the fanmade coach crops removed. However, articles with zero coach extractions (for example, the new song releases) can use fancrops for the time being. I'm not sure that there will be any exceptions, but if you have any questions, please ask them in the comments.
