I really don't think people searching for official_art are looking for images like:

Should official_art reference_image really have the tag?
Also does "sponsored by a sex toy company" really make something official art...? post #4723846

What tag would you propose to cover those cases (official_art_referenced?), or do you think it wouldn't be worth tagging?

was the idea I had if tagging it is really needed, yeah. I'm not sure there's a meaningful distinction between that and just reference_image though, really the only two things in reference image are going to be photos or official art most of the time.

I think those are valid results for people searching official_art. Same as they should be blocked when blacklisted/excluded in a search. It has official art in them, even if it's only part of it, so should be under the same tag, IMO.

It depends if the creation of an image/comic being sponsored by a company makes it official material for the product/advertising. I'm torn on that, I can see the argument on both sides.

A reference image doesn't have to be of official art.

The tag also seems to get misused a lot for model_sheet.

I'm the hypothetical person here, while it's not a huge deal, I opened the thread because when I do a search for "official art" I'm looking for stuff like promotional artwork and concept art, and it's odd to see random porn fanart scattered inbetween because an official illustration is tucked in the corner. Shrug.

This is a can of worms I do not feel like opening so let's just leave it alone for now.
A reference image doesn't have to be of official art.

Yeah, that is true, which is why my first thought was maybe something like official_reference_image if the distinction matters. I just wasn't sure how much it does. There is also a photo_reference tag floating around but it doesn't have much use.
On the matter of the model_sheet mistags... Yeah, no idea what to do there, honestly.

I can see the logic in that, but dunno... I feel like official_art should only be tagged for officially released art. Not for edited content, or pictures in picture.
