According to the Art Rules:

"Non-official or non-Sonic images do not fall under the fair use doctrine on Sonic News Network, as their subject is outside the scope of the wiki. Therefore any non-official or non-Sonic images must be accompanied by permission from the original artist before being uploaded, else they may be deleted. If you are the artist yourself, you must state this clearly on the image page."

This would mean that any fan art must have permission from the original artist on Deviant Art. Oooooh I didn't know this rule existed (sorry!). I've seen some random fan art uploaded before that didn't belong to the uploaders(?) but I guess I was never around to see the deletion.

I'm glad that the new rule about memes is here though.
