It wouldn't be the first time. Pokemon's Music page has a section for fan remixes as well, as well as Kingdom Hearts.

Considering the Non-Canon page purge, I don't think that's kosher.

I'm curious as to why fan-made music shouldn't be allowed. Is that actually policy?

...because it's not part of the work?

There's no such thing as notability for the music.

But the ruling is clear and repeated the fan works and their tropes go on their own pages, not on the pages of the works they're inspired by.

It's fair game to put them on Fanfic Recs for the work, right?

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

Fanfic Recs is fair game. But derivative and fan-made works go on their own articles, not on subpages of the main work. That's a universal rule.
