I'm reposting this from #tagging because it didn't get much traction there and I feel like discussing it here feels more appropriate.

I want to propose an umbrella tag for Iyowa Girls but I don't know if it's even worth it in the first place for various reasons so I'd appreciate some input before anything is done. There are some issues I want to highlight first:
- Only one character (Kurari-chan) has a name and its a nickname given to her by Pixiv/Twitter users. It's not an official name.
- Since the characters are pretty detached from what the original tag stands for, the respective song tag could be used to tag the specific character (e.g: If I want pics of the Apricot girl I can just search apricot (vocaloid) ) but let's say I wanted to see fanart of all of the characters: there is no way to search for art of all of them unless I create a saved search with all of the song titles which aside from being very inconvenient saved searches also tend to be very broken in my experience.
- While the characters don't have names they do have a FA tag on both Pixiv and Twitter and that's where the idea for an Iyowa Girls tag comes in. While "Iyowa" itself might not be eligible for a copyright tag, "Iyowa Girls" could since it's sort of a series, almost like an universe of characters.
tl;dr: I want to make a copytag to make all characters (and content in general) related to Iyowa's PVs easier to search but I don't know if I should since the characters don't have names and we can use *_(vocaloid) tags to find the ones related to specific PVs. If the tag were to exist it wouldn't be the first copytag for a Vocaloid producer that we have (Inabakumori has one).
