You know, I was willing to just let it go and let people believe whatever they wanted, but it's this kind of thing that gets my goat and makes me rail so hard on all the people that want to call everything Zun ever touches "canon." Especially now that people are trying to say pantyshots from non-official hosted artists are canon. The printworks usually have some guests and their works that are completely unrelated to anything Zun's doing. That one comic series in silent sinner in blue with the cartoony rabbits for example.
No, it's not canon, he didn't draw it, he commented many times before in interviews and emails he lets his guests do as they please and that guy isn't even a true official artist that did the panyshot in question.
Official does not equal canon. I said it before, I'll say it again: look at dragon ball GT, look at one piece movies, looks at basically all anime spin off video games. The series creators of those take part in the creation of them, but that doesn't mean it's canon.
Just because ZUN didn't draw the artwork doesn't mean it isn't canon. Or are you gonna argue that IAMP isn't canon and Suika debuted in SA? Or that Rinnosuke and Kasen are fanon-only characters because they have yet to appear in a game with artwork entirely by ZUN?
Just because the artists for AFIEU drew fanart before they drew the official art doesn't mean that their art, in an official print work produced and released by Team Shanghai Alice, is not official art.
The reason DBGT and the Dragon Ball movies are not viewed as fully canon while DBZ is, is because DBZ is an animated adaptation of the original manga while GT and the movies are original creations by Toei with Toriyama's official seal of approval. And they are also canon, despite any difficulty one might have reconciling the events of the movies with (relative) past, present, and future events of the manga -- in the case of Dragon Ball, alternate universes are just as canon as the "main" universe, what with Future Trunks traveling between his dystopian, Android-ravaged universe and the main universe at will and all.
The creators are the one who decides what's canon and what's not, mind you. Unless it was clearly stated to be not canon, we should always consider it part of the canon.
On the other hand, do we need to put every pantyshots taken by Aya into HiH pool? Sounds like a lot of work.

It's pantyshots OF Aya (e.g. this pic, post #2644778) that belong, not pantyshots BY Aya (e.g. post #2515935).
And in any case, the upskirt shots of Aya are simply too numerous to add them all to the pool, so I only added the first one. Adding all of them would more than double the size of the pool, and would require each picture to be added manually due to the nature of the tags involved for searching for those pics. It would be incredibly impractical to add even just half of them.
The upskirt shots of Aya all technically belong in the HIH pool, but should not be added.
