So the uploading guidelines say that the copyrights from which a character comes from must be identified. We have original as a "copyright" for original characters, but what of real people? Must every post that has a character tag have a copyright tag? Would a real life "copyright" tag be a good idea?

It's been discussed before but we couldn't decide on a name so the thread just died.
We currently use real_life_insert as a general tag.
Some real people art can be found under their occupation, like politician or seiyuu. I think it could be useful to group them all together in one tag.
The problem with real life insert is that it only makes sense when the RL person is inserted into a fictional environment. If someone draws an anime version of Nakagawa Shouko just hanging out, then she's not an insert.
We can come up with a good name later, real_life is fine for now.
Do we lump gods such as Anubis under this as well?
Filled it out a little, didn't totally check around 1/4 of the images and couldn't decide if seiyuu connection posts qualified for the tag.

Please don't add mythology into it, that just bastardizes the tag.

If the seiyuu doesn't physically appear in the image, I would say it doesn't count.
So what do we use now? The new tag real_life with currently 162 posts or the old tag real_life_insert with more than 1k posts?
Edit: I vote for real_life_insert since the concept is similar to artist_self-insert.
All but 312 of the real life insert tag are artist self-inserts.

Completely wrong. Most pictures of pool #2420 contain multiple real life inserts and only one artist self insert each. I checked the last 3 pictures, those have 3 additional real life inserts each. That pool alone are about 900 pictures.
Even if these images do qualify, which I'm not saying they do, bach and hitler or even seiyuu should not fall under the same umbrella as a mangaka in kogasa of which we do not know the actual appearance. IMO the two tags are not the same thing.
The real_life_insert wiki says: When the artist or creator uses really existing persons like relatives, friends, actors, politicians, whatever.
Please allow some separation so that we do not mix up actual depictions of people with artists' drawing of a panda or a touhou that they say is representative of their friend or some guy at a printing company.

We already have something like that, fictional_persona. Right now it's supposed to be used for artist self-inserts, but nothing really hinders us from using it for other inserts as well.
All photos of people to be under this umbrella?
