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][1]). 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. I completed the review. The result is: 1. **Questions retaged deleting id-request tag** (~60) 2. **Questions taged with identification-request** (392): - Questions asking to identify his mineral or rock (388, [we are closing everyone][2], will be done in some days). - A few questions about fossils (4). ([Are fossils questions going to be deleted too?][3]) 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: https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/9272/i-have-found-this-fossil-tooth-could-it-be-pliosaur-or-maybe-theropod https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/5415/fossil-or-beef-limestone https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/15012/strange-fossil-rock https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/12542/what-type-of-fossil-is-present-in-this-rock-from-northern-ohio I am for accepting fossils questions, but if you wish not too, 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).
