Not to mention that these pools can, more often than not, be accomplished by normal tag searches already. For example, pool #7045 is basically tatara_kogasa surprised. (Yes it has false positives, but not that many.)

Merged with pool #7327.
Simple tag search.

That one is a picture series done by the same artist, so it's probably all right.

Is it actually a series though? It's not like they have visible continuity, nor did the artist number them, nor released them together in a group. It's just that they're all pictures of the same character cosplaying drawn by the same artist. It's not that rare for an artist to drawn mostly a single character doing a single thing.

Not that they'd be pool material if he had, it'd still basically be a cosplay yakumo_ran merry_(diameri) tag search.
And we really don't need any more Touhou pools that don't have a good reason for being there.

By group I meant more like a named artbook released at a convention (like pool #6588). I don't see a problem with those getting pools.
But yes just arbitrary images that can be searched for with tags like this shouldn't get pools.

JMHO, but maybe we should go back and ask "Why do we have pools in the first place?" I think a legitimate and valuable purpose to a pool is to indicate to people "there's more like this."
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to say that it seems like we're focusing too much on "the rules must be obeyed" without acknowledging that the rules are a little arbitrary. I've seen pools with less than ten images in them which have no continuity except that some of the unnamed characters in them appear in more than one image. Then we have over sixty images by this artist which clearly share a continuity even if there's no particular order to them. I'm not sure why it's good to have the smaller set in a pool, and bad to have the larger set in a pool, just because the smaller one was released as an artbook and the larger one wasn't.

Tags do that too in this case. There's no reason to keep a pool that only serves to bypass the tag search limit.

In the case where somebody already knows "hey, merry (diameri) has done lots of images of yakumo ran in cosplay", then yes, a simple tag search is a complete replacement for the pool. How would someone know that, though?

Oh I don't know, maybe by clicking on merry_(diameri) and seeing a whole bunch of thumbnails of Ran cosplaying as well as the yakumo_ran and cosplay tags on the related tag list?
Anyway, let's not derail the thread any further. If you have any better arguments about why the pool is worthwhile then you should continue in another thread.

What about using futatsuiwa_mamizou disguise for the transformation?
-disguise to find normal cosplay: post #1000443,
request remove for pool #2753, since it only have a single post
Favorites pool
pool #1617: Touhou - Everybody Is Straight in Gensoukyou
Is there really a point for that pool when you can use the tags hetero and Touhou instead?
I find that pool #7394 has a poorly worded description and can fit any criteria as long as it looks hot.
