Criticizing the existence of tags describing specific chemical compounds.

Posted under Tags

BUR #30024 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

nuke abscisic_acid
nuke adenine
nuke auxin
nuke brassinosteroid
nuke cytokinin
nuke ethylene
nuke gibberellin
nuke hormones
nuke jasmonic_acid
nuke salicylic_acid
nuke stomagen
nuke strigolactone

These are only used on two posts depicting personification of various organic compounds. All the aforementioned chemicals have been described in the annotated post #884176. Those are just images of girls, without the image of the respective structure or formula as well.

In context of imageboard, I don't think there's a chance of people coming here to find specific name of chemicals, thus those are not useful keyword. For such, we already have chemistry to cover such topic, or chemical structure.
In case in the future we may have a post depicting a vial containing nitric acid or a bottle labelled "xylene", using chemicals is just enough. We are not Wikipedia or Pubchem.
It feels weird to request BUR to nuke very small "niche" tags, but I had better let the moderation team to decide.

Pointlessly pedantic imho.

Also don't worry about making BURs for few post tags. There are some cases you can justify just nuking them yourself, but others that may be contentious it's good to make a BUR or open a topic for discussion rather than jumping the gun.
