Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions
The tag implication #50696 blender_cycles -> blender_(artwork) has been rejected.
Reason: Can't have Blender Cycles without Blender Software (as far as I know, anyway)
EDIT: The tag implication blender_cycles -> blender_(software) (forum #365903) has been rejected by @Rainbow_Dash.

here we go again regarding whether we alias blender to 3d_artwork, cause that's basically what its been used for, despite the wikis best attempts
while i agree that this in a vaccume makes sense, how is anyone supposted to tell that it was made in cycles, without an UI?

It's not about knowing if it was made in Cycles, it's about implying that blender is being used if you're using this tag.

Then we go back to the whole issue of "should software used be tagged or not?".

A bur's been made and it's been rejected with a huge number of folks voting on it. Now, the only way to work around with this tag would be to use blender_(copyright) instead and then make blender_(software) meta.
I don't like it, but there's nothing that can be done about it.
Blender's Cycles renderer is also available as a standalone module for other software to use.
Okay, say there's an 2D artwork or 3D render of a character using a computer, and a UI element says they're using Blender Cycles. Then that means they're using Blender.
The fact of the matter is that this request is not about how to use the tag, it's about Blender Cycles being a part of Blender the Software, no matter what the context is. It's not an alias or a request to use a tag a particular way, it's an implication.
But if that won't work, I could always request to alias Blender Cycles and Blender Eevee to Blender (Software) so it's just a single tag. Or even just alias Blender Cycles to another tag called "Cycles Render Engine" if we wanted to only refer to the engine itself since it has a standalone I didn't even know about till Nero mentioned it.
interesting to note, here: blender_(software) already has alias #22499 of the tag cycles.
