Celebrity connection makes me think of hollywood kind of celebrity, might not be the best term on an otaku-based site. Historical icon connection, again, has the restrictive "historical" in its name. Someone else proposed literary connection, shared origin and origin connection. I’m not in favor of shared origin since it doesn’t follow the x_connection naming, but the others sound like the a good approach. My other BUR suggested character origin connection but people don’t seem to like it, there was also character reference connection.

So we agree on celebtrity connection
I think my preferred option here is character reference connection, the "origin" variant feels way too prone to misunderstanding for comfort, even if i get it is intentionally made to cover for all the different cases we are trying to find a tag for;
"Literary" is just as restrictive as "historical" for the tag name, just in a different direction, which i'm not against, since i genuinely think the better course is to have two different tags rather than trying to mix all possible character origins/references regardless of said origins being from fiction or real-life, historical or more recent. To me a tag that tries to cover both for moe-fied real life racehorses and moe-fied mythologic deities will always have issues in its name and how well it describes it's use, so it's either we deal with it by choosing character reference connection and see how it goes, or it's a split between real-life origins and literary/fictional origins, but as you pointed out, there are edge cases and i myself can't come up with a solution to that, so if we go with the all-rounder, it's all fine
