[Meta] should articles be allowed? (lemmy.world)

Asking this because I saw an article being posted today but the fifth submission rule (which is part of the pinned post on top) states:

Post only images. No gifs, videos or articles.

the rules were written (and partially ripped off from r/art) towards the inception of the community, at a time when I naively believed we'd be flooded with all kinds of posts in need of tremendous filtration, but that proved to not be the case.

Do you believe in the promotion of art regardless of the medium?
Do you wish for a strict image only showcase of artworks?
Do you favor the traditional_art taking a more forum-like path by encouraging texts and articles?

Just like how the video issue was settled, I'd like to open the article issue to the floor and let the viewers decide what's best for the community moving forward.

Reading through the comments on the video post, someone mentioned a specific day, so maybe do a "Sunday Press" kind of thing.

It look like you're referring to this post https://lemmy.world/post/18129858

I think articles about the art are great. As long as the article is focused on the actual artist or the art piece. I really don't want some dudes life story on "how this painting influced me and blah blah"
