I have deleted identification-request tag and added missing tags as mineralogy, petrology or sedimentology from questions that are related with field or theorical geology (example). Also questions about clouds and meteorology instrumentation to facilitate the deletion task.
Then if a "ban" is applied to every question that has the tag those questions will be saved (I still don't understand how is gonna this be solved).
For all questions related with fossils I started to do it, but I was told not to do it from other reviewers. There are still 3 questions of fossils taged id-request. I have sugested their edition to place them where the rest of fossils question are (fossil tag has 60 questions, some of them not related with identification).
I completed the review.
The result is:
- Questions retaged deleting id-request tag (~60)
- Questions taged with identification-request (391):
- Questions asking to identify his mineral or rock (388, we are closing everyone, will be done in some days).
- A few questions about fossils (3). (Are fossils questions going to be deleted too?)
My sugest is to retag them (and delete the word rock from title) to leave the list clean of questions we don't want to delete, but as you wish:
I have found this fossil tooth, could it be pliosaur ? Or maybe theropod?
What type of fossil is this found at northern Ohio?
I am for accepting fossils questions, but if you wish not to, you can see the rest of questions asking to identify a fossil on fossils tag, that has only 60 question in total. It does not represent a traffic trouble and fossils can be very commonly identified from morphology are my reasons.
I hoppe it is correct with the thougths of the community, facilitating the deletion task (and the process of including the tag in a black list, if it is done).
