Pointless Pools

- Mysterio006 said: pool #221 - covered easily by murakami_suigun + miko. Also, they should probably go into their specific F-ism.

- Mysterio006 said: pool #1877 - "armed and dangerous"
- Mysterio006 said: pool #1755 - "Conviently Placed Onsen Steam"
- Mysterio006 said: pool #1374 - untouched pool.

All deleted.

- pool #1883 - "pokemon in reality: Pokemon and what they look like if they were in reality" is covered by pokemon realistic.

Added realistic to the one that did not have it, and deleted.

- Mysterio006 said: pool #1535 - "Visually Enlightening"

Deleted, redundant with colorful.

Mysterio006 said: While it does cover the majority of the pool, there are a few exceptions, such as post #474169.

I have always held that it is not necessarily the job of tagging to be perfect. If there are only "a few exceptions" then it is entirely reasonable to live with that, when the idea of the pool is very nearly redundant with a simple tag search. Deleted pool #1685.

Mysterio006 said: pool #1842 - "Narm" - Otherwise serious pictures that are ruined by unintentional hilarity. I'm a little unsure about this one... Plus, just one post.

What the heck is a "narm" anyway?

I don't know if anyone mention this one yet but pool #683 seems to just have kunkun pics in it which seems redundant since there is a kunkun character tag with the same content, however it's pics of a certain artist so I'm not sure if this one is acceptable I just stumbled onto it while surfing.

pool #1885 - "Mutual Yuri"

I thought yuri worked under the same conditions as couple, so why the hell is this pool here?

pool #1718 - "Animifying"

Considering that Danbooru deals with high-quality anime-related art, this pool seems like it's stating the obvious.

Unless it's an actual series of images that go in a certain order (which it doesn't seem to), it can probably be covered by a kunkun ichikawa_masahiro search.

Animifying is for fanart of things that aren't in an anime style to begin with. It's specific enough to warrant a pool, I think.

There is a good reason why I made the pool. Not all pictures labeled under yuri show the girls enjoying each others company. Even the ones labeled couple are inadequate in describing a picture. Many are not fit for the Making Love pool.

The pool is a place to find images of girls who enjoy each other.

Deleted the kunkun one but the other two seem defensible. I suppose mutual yuri is more borderline but I guess it's okay.

pool #1903 seems to be rather subjective, although it could just be my personal opinion making me oddly biased.

Basically it's either subjective or covered by faceless male.

pool #1910
I said in the Marisa image that a simple two-tag search would work, and I don't think there are enough for it to be an option.

pool #1894 "Touhou - Butler"
vs tags touhou butler

pool #1914 "A special pool for the very best of Danbooru members' own artwork"

Although he does try to explain in the pool's description the whole "Danbooru =/= Pixiv or DA" thing, having a pool like that seems like it'll be more trouble than it's worth.

Bringing up pool #1226 - "Too Small" again. We already have the too_small/undersized_clothes tag covering this visual.

Not to mention it's almost 50% sling bikinis.

pool #1718

It's a pool for characters unrelated to anime drawn in an anime style.

Not really sure on whether this pool is worth having, but it seems to me that you can just search for characters like that, and if pics of them exist on Danbooru, they'll almost certainly be drawn in an anime style.

The Animifying pool was brought up about two weeks ago and I felt it was a reasonable pool then. Now whether it's a tag or a pool is another matter, but either way. It's not a bad idea to have them all together under one header. You'd have to have a particular character in mind otherwise, and odds are you wouldn't think to search a non-anime character like that in the first place. But stumble upon this pool once, and you'll probably end up checking out similar.

Since it's "somewhat uncommon but not incredibly rare" it seems like a decent pool.

pool #1944 "Personification"

We already have the personification tag.

pool #1982 - "Help me, ERINNNNNN!!"
We already have the tasukete_erin tag.

Was A_Maids_ecstasy deleted as a pool?
