dragon_(touhou)

Does this buy us anything dragon touhou doesn't? The description in PMiSS fits, like, every Chinese dragon ever. If nobody objects I'll go remove the tag, but someone should nuke the wiki.

Yeah, sound completely useless to me. Especially since the character had never has official visual appearance.

Is it actually a distinct dragon, canonically named "Dragon"? If so dragon_(touhou) is fine, if not then we can delete it.

No, it's not. ZUN only mentioned the dragon god as a powerful being etc., no name or illustration for it (yet).

Okay, removed.

I disagree that it isn't distinct from, say, any old Hong_Meiling dragon image.

Even if it isn't capitalized in the Perfect Memento article or always clear whether it's talking about just a generic image of a huge dragon or one who actually appeared or a race, "dragon" or "the dragon" is basically its name.

And if not in an official image, its description alone infers one separate from just a dragon... a great one different from any other being in importance and scale. This was also the case in images formerly labeled Dragon_(Touhou) here, like in post #208973 or post #326783... one of which clearly refers to the event in Touhou's history where dragon... not a dragon, or some dragon... appears. In this regard, it doesn't matter that there is no official art.

...except, that gives us no visual elements upon which to draw clues as to whether any given dragon is one of the Touhou variety. There's nothing to distinguish any dragon in a Touhou pic from any other dragons out there, either.

Without official illustrations, we've got nothing to go on, and no basis for such as specific dragon_(touhou) tag.

A dragon_god tag and wiki just popped up. Is this any more acceptable then the nuked dragon_(touhou) tag?
And what does Demon's Souls have to do with it? post #1041102

Dragon God is the 2-3 boss in Demon's Souls. You can see him in the bottom left of that picture.

The tag is IMO worse then touhou_dragon since it is far less specific.

As for actually making a tag for it, I can see the benefit of having one but Zun has not defined the "character" so it would be a Pixiv/fannon tag only.

As for the wiki itself, it's questionable whether Ryuujin is meant to be a proper name, or is to be taken literally as simply "dragon god". If it were that easy, we wouldn't be stuck calling him that. If it's the former, it's a possible reference to the mythological Ryuujin but that's neither here or there.

Anyway, as I said before, if not visually, the character is to be defined by narrative and context, as in post #208973, wherein you know it's meant to be this specific dragon. Of course, this can also be defined as meta knowledge. That said, there are cues as to its appearance. These cues may not set it apart from any other dragon alone, but when all elements and evidence are combined, then it doesn't have to be officially illustrated to be able to identify it. Would that be different from any other hypothetical literary character that's never been drawn officially, but gets identifiable, taggable art anyway?

I'm not really arguing for or against. I'll just say, I don't care that much, but it was nice having a tag to be able to separate the dragon from just any old Touhou image where generic dragon imagery appears. Regardless, possible name aside, nothing in the wiki is any different from what's already been said on the topic.
