Pointless Pools

pool #7407 - Kantai Collection - With Tenryuu-san (infinote)

All five pics are connected to each other via "parent and siblings," so the pool is pointless.

pool #9405 - Touhou - Keine's Fancy Hat

As bad as all those fancy Touhou wings and weapons pools, which haven't been dealt with yet.

I tagged all entries alternate_headwear and emptied the pool.

pool #6476 - Quasi-Ganguro

I don't know at all what this pool is trying to accomplish, the single line descriptor explains nothing useful and all of the images can either be found with ganguro and/or dark skin+blonde hair or white hair

It's basically ganguro without the trashy clothes and makeup such as post #1045313. Then again, the ganguro tag isn't strictly used in that way anyway.

My question then is if the concept of ganguro is important enough to warrant another tag for images with characters that fit everything except the clothing bill.
In any case, there's no need for a pool, though I guess that means my post is in the wrong thread.

pool #7302 - comicly serious

Empty pool; title suggests accidental duplicate of "The Comically Serious" (pool #4046).

pool #9278

We already have the stationary restraints tag.

pool #9586

Almost all of its contents are posts from gaiko_kujin's Maru-yu-san (pool #8877) with several posts by other artists.
If you want to look for Maru-yu-san by other artists, simply put maru-yu_(kantai_collection)+borrowed_character into the search bar.

pool #2827 - Vocaloid - Song Crossovers

vocaloid + songover

pool #3160 - Muscle Girls

Could this be turned into a tag, "muscular_girl" or "muscular_female"?

What's even the point of the Awesome Mecha and Nostalgia pools, anyway? There's no real criteria (or standards) for what's an Awesome Mecha, so just about every mecha picture gets added (which means that you might as well just have the Mecha tag), and the Nostalgia pool is in practice just the random 80's and 70's anime and videogames pool (which we also already have tags for).
Essencially, Nostalgia has two completely separate, unrelated themes: the first being stuff that reminds you of things you used to do as a kid (and this is actually a very legit theme for a pool), and "random stuff I watched/played I personally enjoyed as a kid, no matter how obscure. Usually Robotech-related". Which is nostalgic to about one or two people, but stretching the theme of the pool so much it becomes even more pointless. If I want to see pictures of a show I watched as a kid, I search for the tag of the specific show. Again, I fail to see how the pool helps here. A pool called "Good anime", "Things I've fapped to" or "The best characters" would get deleted immediately, so I don't see why Nostalgia is perfectly okay.

There are plenty of other subjective pools, but these two are by far the most ridiculous ones, as they're so absurdly vague and completely redundant. What's the point?

pool #1384 - To the Death seems that many pictures can be replaced with the faceoff tag. The rest is basically the battle tag.

pool #5464

The tag skin_tight.

pool #7089
actually belongs as part of pool #6548, not a separate series

pool #5719 -- Pixiv / 2.5 Dimension TV - Magical Girl Wars / 魔法少女大戦
Originally created for the character design contest in 2012, obsoleted by tag mahou_shoujo_taisen_contest_1 for the contest, and mahou_shoujo_taisen for the series it spawned. Possible source of confusion due to a second contest being held subsequently.

I have already ensured all posts in the pool are tagged accordingly.

pool #2181 - Redundancy

Couldn't this pool be a tag? It's a fairly evident and objective concept.

There could at least be a redundant_costume tag for all the posts of people wearing costumes of their own species since a lot of the pool is animal girls wearing animal costumes.

pool #9825

alice_in_wonderland

pool #9828
Duplicate.

pool #3683

Half the posts could be found with the "belly" tag, the other half could be found with the "curvy" tag, many could be found with the "plump" tag, and many of them can be found with any of the above. What its contents are supposed to be are neither clear nor consistent, and in any case, tags do a better job of organizing the posts that are in it.
