Are you thinking of pool #4944: Touhou - Feral Instincts?
Edit: Speaking of that pool, I wouldn't mind seeing it expended to cover non-touhou too. pool:4944 touhou is an easy enough search then.
The images I suggested be removed from pool #5110 are an example of images of the type I'm referring to though. They're only unified by the fact the characters are animal girls (well animal people), which is a different theme than unifying the characters by a specific animal type. It just seems to me that the first concept, images that are a gathering of touhou's animal girls, seems like something that would have already been created.
What you linked, while related to Touhou's animal girls, is a very very different theme and does not cover images with the theme of gathering up several of touhou's animal girls in one image. It is something that could probably be expanded to cover non-Touhou characters.
NWF_Renim said: I'm honestly inclined to say keep the pool though, because I imagine it's only a matter of time before some other member gets added to the group and the search will just end up getting more and more complicated as time goes on.
I don't get it. Our policy has always been not to create pools which are covered by tag searches with <=6 tags, especially not for pairings (and collections of x characters) and now we have the Yakumo family pool, the Moriya family pool, the bird youkai pool, this pool and we'll soon have the inevitable creations of the 3 fairies pool, the prismriver sisters pool, the dog/wolf character pool, the SDM family pool, the chireiden family pool, etc. (EDIT: and the future "touhou bunny girls" pool. I'd rather we discuss all these possible future pools now BEFORE they are created)
The "* family* pools can even be searched with 2 tags by members (family bonding + 1 character from that "family"). This new one is even simpler, 3 specific characters. the other 3 tags can be used to filter the result whichever way the user wants, such as with -everyone. This is what albert considers a privilege worth paying for and we shouldn't allow pools whose only purpose is to bypass the 2-tag search restrictions. Again, I'm not pulling this out of my ass, this has been our policy since forever.

A pool for gatherings of (only) animal characters? I've been arguing for the creation of such a pool (EDIT: or tag?), but I don't create themed pools unless there is a consensus that a pool is useful. Pools that are created by a single person without notice or discussion are the ones that end up in this thread.
Do we know the original artist's name so we can add artist_(style) to the images? Were the FFT characters drawn by a single artist? (EDIT: Is his name Yoshida Akihiko?
S1eth said: pool #5086 - Touhou - Sakuya's Pads Really? I really don't think anyone would argue for keeping this pool. And there's a breast_padding tag.
i actually agree, but there is the issue of "when sakuya's pads are mentionned" over being shown, in which case breast_padding or pad wouldn't apply.

It's a pool about a running joke. That's the pool's only merit and the only discussion should be "is that enough merit to keep the pool?". Whether you can find a replacement tag search doesn't matter, imo.

See forum #18696. The breast padding tag was overloaded to cover the mention of padding even without the item shown.
pool #5142: Street Fighter - Juri in serafuku Sakura buys Juri some Japanese-style clothes.
not sure if we want to keep this, but i think the likes of this is better in parent-child relationship. we have like post #1106615 and others of similar sequence of images but didn't have to be in a pool.

I wish I knew. Wikipedia lists three, Hiroshi Minagawa - art director Akihiko Yoshida - character design Hideo Minaba - (no data) Guess going with Yoshida would work if he's the one to actually draw that familiar noseless style, while Minaba made backgrounds and sprites? and Minagawa just OK'd everything. But that's pretty much 100% conjecture.
Well, I should think that no matter who was responsible for that style, they went on to use a different style for many other projects, so perhaps it would be most accurate to just make it final_fantasy_tactics_(style)?
I'd just like some clarification on pool #280, I know it's been deemed acceptable, but why exactly is that? It looks as though every single image in that pool falls under bodysuit with no other qualifying criteria, and the ones not tagged as such are mostly simply missing the tag. (The one exception seems to be oddly placed, being that it's a picture of pantyhose, not a suit of any type)

I've spun off a thread for discussion on pool #280, forum #74586. It keeps being brought back up over and over again, so it seems like something that needs to be hammered out.

Yo, I created that pool. 1. It wasn't a searchable thing; rather it's a mini-comic with a definite reading order. 2. The final page (post #1092016) isn't even a derivative. 3. han_juri serafuku throws up 6 posts which would not have been in the (now deleted) pool.
They were uploaded in order, they're clearly parented, and less than 50% error rate on something with 16 posts is really nothing. If the query was far far larger I would be more inclined to accept that as an argument.
Seems pointless, though to be honest I don't really understand what exactly it's supposed to be about from that description. Only three posts and no activity since last May.
Same concept as pool #2097. There are a few posts (e.g. post #599018 or post #783379) which are only in the former and not in the latter, but the sci-fi or fantasy elements they contain aren't too conspicuous and it isn't clear that the characters treat them as normal, everyday life, as the pool description says should be the case.
Edit: Seems this was brought up before (forum #73378) but since nobody commented on it I guess it was probably missed.
