Pointless Pools

pool #4860 - Guro
Description says for extreme gore, but I guess the tag covers it.

Oh and pool #4859 - Eastern Video Games, by the same guy. I would think more than 50% of the video game artwork here are of Eastern origin, and the respective tags for each copyright can just be typed in the searchbox, depending on what you're looking for.

I've said the same about pool #2813.

pool #1200 - Touhou - Festival of Love Confessions

This pool has lost its focus:

Originally composed solely of a series of images by ayakashi_(pixiv) showing the girls of Gensoukyou confessing their romantic feelings to the viewer. This pool now includes any solo image of one of the characters of Touhou confessing their love to the viewer.

Taken from the pixiv images tagged 東方告白祭り
...though not necessarily limited to that tag grouping.

Surely, I don't have to explain why having a confessing_to_viewer type of pool limited to Touhou images is bad idea.
I suggest cleaning it up so it's only the original set by ayakashi_(pixiv).

These pools are pixiv projects, but don't serve any other purpose:
pool #486 - Touhou Parka Girls
= touhou hoodie or touhou hooded_jacket, whatever the difference between those 2 tags may be.
pool #531 - Touhou - Kindergarten
= touhou kindergarten
pool #533 - Touhou - Gothic Lolita
= touhou gothic_lolita

------------------------------
EDIT:

pool #2477 - Touhou - I know what you are thinking...
Can we please replace this with a mindreading tag?
If they think of indecent stuff, that will go into the perverted girls pool anyway.
Previously suggested in forum #66327.

pool #2561 - Kyoto, Haru.
Don't really see why this couldn't work as a copyright tag + wiki definition.

I don't see how an artbook or doujinshi can count as a copyright, plus it's already got the original copyright. If the pool images were put in the same order as the book and restricted to just the best copy of each image, it might be worth keeping.

pool #4046 - The Comically Serious

This seems to be redundant to Completely Unamused.

Seems slightly different to me.
Completely unamused = somebody does something funny and another person is unamused by it.
Comically Serious = Something funny is in the picture with a person with a "badass" look, seemingly ignoring the funny.

I think this pool can definitely be used, however some pictures don't seem to quite fit the theme.

What would be the tag search for pool #1200 ? unless you're implying a new tag?

As for pool #2477 , either a new tag called mindreading, or recenter the pool to nonsensical thoughts and exclude all perverted thoughts of the pool.

edit : on second thought, nothing against deleting pool #2477 in favor of a tag. i don't even see over 1 picture with nonsensical thoughts.

For the pool above, forum posts about it:

I think colored pubic hair is totally normal (especially blonde hair, what the hell!?) and not worth tagging or pooling. It should be assumed that a character's hair color (head) matches their pubic hair color. If it doesn't, it goes into pool #1974 - "Your Curtain Doesn't Match Your Carpet" anyway. We can then make that pool into a tag as suggested in one of the forum posts above.

So it's come up before, and most people say the pool needs to be replaced with only a couple suggesting that it doesn't merit a tag at all. Why is it still around?

Personally, I think the distinction does merit a tag. Maybe not in the case of blonde hair, and I think that if we have a choice between colored pubic hair and mismatched pubic hair (or whatever) we should tag the more visually striking of the two. Since it can be hard to tell the color for girls with very little hair, I'd go with tagging the obviously colored ones.

Or we could just have both tags and tag it when it's striking either way (e.g. both for blondes with dark pubes and for things like post #685578).

Personally, I'd rather have a tag than a pool because dealing with pools (i.e. the load-time and then drop-down navigation) is time-consuming when you're on a tagging binge.

pool #4837 Pokemon moves and abilities

Just a Pokemon specific Gameplay Mechanics pool.

A number of posts of "Pokemon moves and abilites" apply to "Gameplay Mechanics", others do not.

Relatedly: the basic statement "this pool is a more strict version of that other pool" may, or may not, be a good reason for deletion of the former.

Examples of pools that are more strict versions of other pools:

I disagree for the diglett one, as it's meant for any kind of diglett instead of something shocking you.

as for the convenient cirno/mundane utility, i think i'd wait until the mundane utility pool is more populated though i have nothing against it personally speaking.
I think there also was a convenient mokou pool.

as for the perversion of powers and the madoka pool, i wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to add a "pervert" or "perverted" tag? maybe a perverted_girl tag too so to turn the perverted girl pool into a tag.

There's a difference between overlapping pools and pools that are just subsets of other pools.

Danielx21 said:

If "Mundane Utility" gets an OK, we can move all Convenient X images over there, instead of creating Convenient Yukari, Convenient Pikachu, Convenient Kabuterimon (post #966889) pools.

As mentioned, these just overlap to some extent

That one is actually a subset of the "Perverted Girls" pool and its reason for existence has been discussed multiple times already.

As for the pokemon pool, I haven't checked every single comic, but what I see fits well within the Game Mechanics pool.
What happened to Pokemon pools anyway? The number of pools for images like post #1067270 is ridiculous.
