That's really stretching the definition of solo. Most of 2girls solo shouldn't even have solo.
Since this is relevant to the discussion at hand, I'll post an dmal exchange between me and Cyberia-Mix here. This is taken from mails about the myon thread:

post #754953 is tagged with Remilia because you need a way to tell with tags that there's something about the character in there. Having no tag to indicate Remilia's presence would be worse imho. You see the hat joke a lot with Mystia to implicate she's been cooked/eaten yet you don't really actually have Mystia in the picture, and she's still tagged since the joke is a meaningful element of the picture.
Though all this part would probably need a global tag for any situation where an image depicts a character's distinctive item without its owner (ultimate case post #549441). To some extend you could even apply this to Youmu if you consider half of her is missing in one way or another (though in our dimension this would only work in one direction).I don't think I would ever skip character tagging actually. Even things like post #502936 or post #801739 are worth having the characters tagged to me.

For now, I tag posts like post #502936 with focus on a single character as solo.

Good point.
I used to tag solo/2girls etc. only on posts where chartags:X was misleading (myon, pyonta and such). I'm still not sure what's the best thing to do about that. Solo has always been so undertagged that chartags:1 works infinitely better.

Would solo also be used for tags with one focused character, including when people, often undetailed, are part of the image's background?
Since Mysterio006 and I established to solo tag (and later Cyberia-Mix), the criteria under which we applied the tag has heavily influenced the current use of the tag. (like not counting character_dolls when tagging solo)
Still, there were already rules set in place for the solo tag about "multiple viewpoints" in forum #21359.
The question is: does this rule (still) make sense? We know that the character on both sides of a dakimakura is the same. Mysterio and many others ignore that rule in the wiki and unless there are arguments against it, I'll do the same from now on.
EDIT:
1girl 2girls should be empty.
post #900117
See tag history:
As mentioned, I tag such images solo.
Has both 2girls (Mysterio) and 1girl Anelaid.
