nuke pool:21151

I don't think we need a pool for this on second thought. Do we really need tags of specific anniversary milestones? Because alternatively we can convert this pool if it's worth keeping as a concept.

I personally think it's worth keeping

What's so special about the tenth anniversary of this franchise that it would warrant its own pool, or even its own tag? The fact that the pool description even provides a tag name used on Twitter that we could use ourselves gives it even less of a reason for it to be a pool, but again, why should this specific copyright get its own exclusive anniversary tags when others don't?

I do see some tags with an idolish7 qualifier, which I suspect may refer to the costumes. If they do, they should be renamed, and if they don't, they should be nuked.

Others could get their own too. There's a bunch of posts like post #9901988, post #7365647, post #7150145 etc. which don't have the hastag in the commentary so without a pool or tag it's not possible to find them

Most of the images in the pool were already tagged anniversary to begin with. I went ahead and manually tagged the stragglers, so the BUR should be fine as is.

Honestly, my idea was more a generic "X anniversary" milestone to be used for any series, but I think that would probably end up too much a mess. The reason I chose to just flatout nuke it was for the reasons Blank described: There is nothing special about Len'en's 10th anniversary that it needs its own pools. It's just pooled for the sake of being pooled.

That's great. No complaints on my end then anymore

Similarly to the anniversary discussion above, I've been maintaining a pool for Re:Stage! Prism Step's birthday card art (pool #25748). I used to just tag these with birthday, but then put them in a pool because I thought maybe it wouldn't be appropriate for a lot of the posts since most of them don't indicate a birthday is being celebrated in the image. The only way you'd know is from the card title, which I have to put in a comment. If the pool:25748 -birthday posts actually do qualify for birthday, then I wouldn't object to nuking this pool, but if not, then I'd argue the only way to find them would be through the comments, which I think would be too inconvenient since you'd have to know exactly what to search for. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

This may be controversial, but the more I think about these pools, the less I think they are needed. By this point, they are little more than pet pools to be filled at leisure with whatever. All of these can easily be search for with a tag (Like "Beautiful Dark Smile" could be searched for with evil smile specifically). These are way too subjective for tags, but also suck as pools. I think it would be wise to consider killing them, or at least beginning preparations to kill them in some way.
