Pointless Pools

pool #12660. Merged with pool #12638

Since this is pretty much the same issue as what I have asked earlier (ref: forum #187413, forum #187415), I have proceeded to depopulate pool #12660 and delete it.

Edit: For future reference, builders have pool deletion privileges, so I think you can do so for similarly redundant pools if you run into them again. Ones that you think are unambiguously redundant and don't need discussion over.

And, nope, I did not know about it (builders being able to delete pools) either until nonamethanks told me how to delete pools.

So, we have both a tag and a pool for Starter Pokemon trio: starter_pokemon_trio and pool #4223.

Which of them should be kept?

BUR #5944 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update pool:Pokemon_-_Starter_Trio -> starter_pokemon_trio -pool:Pokemon_-_Starter_Trio

Given that it's an objective concept, and there's not a single post under pool:Pokemon_-_Starter_Trio -starter_pokemon_trio where I wouldn't use the tag, the pool is not needed imo.

+1
Far more objective than Touhou "stage gatherings" and Kancolle/AzLane "ship class gatherings", so yes, I'd agree it can be turned into a tag with the pool made redundant.

(It's always exactly three pokemon that everybody knows. A closed class, unlike "stage gatherings" and "ship class gatherings", which can be partial groups and are "open classes" which change every time a new relevant character gets introduced.)

Since I remembered this thread again, I'd like bring up pool #1513 once more. It's made redundant given that one can search height_difference + hetero, yaoi or yuri. The only argument I can see against it is that it's supposedly only for "romantic" images so it doesn't accept one of the partners being more dominant.

BUR #5999 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update pool:Animification -> animification -pool:Animification

Drawing a non-anime character in an anime style is a pretty straightforward concept.

Wonder if this tag doesn't risk ballooning out. I'm not saying we don't need it, but nearly everything under real life that is not asian people, or anything under western copyrights like spider-man (series) or batman (series) could fit under it.
