Hi,

I'm not sure how or where to request this but I think the following tags should be deleted:

• crush_(comic) - A pool for this comic already exists. (handled by @bitWolfy)
• zootopia_disney, zootopia_fan_art and zootopiafanart created by already blocked user klorpa . (handled by @Kemonophonic)
• gsg9 which is for GSG 9 I think but it makes no sense on e6 (does it?).
• ドロマメ which I created and explained on post #2374056 and in the forum . Or rename it to _u30C930ED30DE30E1 if this is an acceptable method for tagging artists without any ASCII aliases.

Why not romanise it to doromame instead of something horrendous like _u30C930ED30DE30E1 ?

it would make sense if it had a wiki entry
but it probably should be gsg_9 (with the space)
and i'm not sure that it should be a copyright tag

I removed those invalid Zootopia tags.

Thx but how did you do it? Are special user rights required?

Would romanising work as a bijective function (1-to-1) for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and so on at the same time?
Using the Unicode entities would allow unambiguous lossless transformation back and forth.
Do you know where one can find specific descriptions of such functions (I can't find anything useful)?

Removed that tag.
It appears that it was added at some point to resolve an issue with ambiguous crush tag - now used for the act of physically crushing something, rather than a romantic crush.

They didn't delete the tags, just removed them from posts. You do not need special permissions for that.

Could you elaborate on why you don't think that it makes sense to have a tag like that on e621?
Probably shouldn't be a copyright tag, as bipface said, but I don't have a problem with it in general.

I thought the point of not having tags like ドロマメ was that it was difficult to type for most users. Wouldn't _u30C930ED30DE30E1 also be difficult to type? Who the heck is going to remember all that? Maybe we need a artist_name_romanization_request tag? (In this case it should be romanized as doromame)

I will not accept _u30C930ED30DE30E1 as a good name

@CrocoGator & @Strikerman
Please continue that in the linked forum thread .

So a tag that isn't on any posts any more vanishes by itself? just verified that with the Unicode entities test tag. Thanks.
If so that'd be That is nice but the Wiki is missing this information (at least I couldn't find it).

I think it falls under overly specific.
There are tags for police, military, their equipment (weapons, clothing, tactical vest, night vision goggles and so on).
If gsg9 is "allowed" we'd get an individual tag for every different (special) police and military forces (eg. Zootopia's ZPD).

Edit: Just noticed that the ZPD tag actually exists but with only 22 posts. So that one can go the way of the dinosaur too...
