Pointless Pools

S1eth said:

The Mokou tag was created when she only had 2 posts, and it took half a year for a third one to be uploaded. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with creating a tag for a single occurance.

Mmmmkay. So okay, for instance I found this post #1608167 (if it gets approved). The case of Toritsuki is the same as Yuyuko's, but there isn't ANY more decent fanart with her in the Internets. So you suggest I also create a tag

?
(Actually in this case I think "spoiler" is enough but it's still a good example of the point)

pool #6725 "Touhou - The Morichika Family"

This looks like some kind of strange shipping pool. They aren't a family or related to each other at all. They don't even live with each other like the groups of the other family pools.

Making pools based on pairings is still against the rules, right?

^ True to the above.

And this:
pool #7868: Touhou - Sekibanki's Headless Hijinks

It's simply sekibanki + headless.

On the same note, isn't pool #1617 "Touhou - Everybody Is Straight in Gensoukyou" also against the rules being a shipping pool?

It's very generalized shipping, but it's about shipping none the less. Couldn't the tags hetero and touhou cover that anyways?

pool #7998: Lock Screens.
Simply a phone_screen pool. Was made before creator knew of that tag.

I don't keep track of what's going on here, so sorry if this has been discussed. pool #2246 - embarrassed, pantyshot, angry, annoyed, covering_crotch etc.

What's exactly the differerence between the Funded! pool (pool #7061) and the funded tag?

No difference in definition I can see.

The funded tag has existed for more than twice as long as the Funded! pool has. Funded! pool has more posts.

Pool should be deleted and merged into the tag.

pool #7966: Past Self

Younger should suffice or not?

For cases that's not sufficient we can create a new tag similar to [saigyouji_yuyuko_(living)].

pool #7430 - Kantai Collection - Burning Love

Easily a tag like ze.

pool #8065 - That's Just Mean!

"pool #4637 - Mean but Hilarious" is sufficient.

pool #7957 - Nisekoi Endcard Illustration

Not that I have a real problem lumping them into eyecatch, but the things in that pool aren't really eyecatches, as eyecatches would specifically be the frames before and after the commercial break in the middle of the show. These are just the illustrations that now commonly appear at the very end of a show and depict an illustration from a weekly guest illustrator, at least from memory real eyecatches are usually illustrated by the production studio doing the show or official illustrators of the series.

true. i actually typed initially endcard nisekoi in the search box as suggested in the pool title. but for some reason it's aliased and the final tag is eyecatch. not sure if we need a strict difference for these two.

I guess at minimum the eyecatch wiki should be updated, as the definition currently on there wouldn't cover endcards.

then by virtue of pool #7957 being removed, i would suggest also removing the following as well:

pool #3211 - Madoka Endcard Illustration

pool #3443 - The World God Only Knows - End Cards

I think there is some value to having a pool if they are a complete set and ordered by episode (they aren't always uploaded in that order, and there are sometimes duplicates). It's not always the case that every endcard is worth uploading, though, so I don't know...

pool #3100 - Vocaloid - Miku Striped Pantsu
