Tag idea: country_connection

So I populated the country connection tag to a degree... I'm most familiar with GuP, and I'm somewhat familiar with Witches and KanColle, but I might have missed some, plus there might be other low-hanging fruit to investigate.

Though, we should probably establish the following rule for this tag.

1. Japan doesn't count, with some exception

The image must explicitly draw notice to the Japan connection
An example could be Nishi Kinuyo, commander of the Japan-themed team, and Japan (hetalia)

Also, while tagging the above, I noticed another possible connection tag... protagonists or main characters. This tag could be used if two or more main characters from a series are drawn together, with no other non-MC's in the picture. I thought of this when I saw pictures of Nishizumi Miho, Fubuki (Kantai Collection), and Miyafuji Yoshika drawn together. Another character mix I saw was Miho, Yoshika, and Miyanaga Saki. Thoughts?

If there are enough posts to populate it, then I certainly won't object to a country_connection tag. It's not like I was totally against it in the first place - I was just concerned if there'd be enough posts to make it worth the while.

Personally I don't really see a reason why this tag can't be created or at least allowed to have a trial run. If the tag population is large enough in the end, can always have it implicate trait_connection.

As for relying on trait_connection and a country tag, I think it leaves the results very open to noise problems (post #1460622), and depending on comments would make the concept obnoxious to search for.

So in addition to trait connection, should the country tag also be added...?

I just realized that this will probably be more popular than I first thought... heck, crossovers of Kantai Collection, World Witches Series, Girls und Panzer, etc, would have more than a few of these.

So instead of adding a comment on everyone of those, I'd rather just add the country tag. Thoughts?

I think the general consensus among us is that a tag would need at least 50 posts for it to be worth keeping. I don't know about you, but I can't think of any posts off the top of my head that would help populate country_connection when trait_connection + comment would suffice.

@feline_lump: If you can populate it, why not?

I agree with Benit's way of thinking, here. Trait connection plus an explanation is more than enough.

2017-08-01T15:25:07-04:00

I'd stick with trait connection myself. If necessary, a comment explaining their country of origin would be helpful if it isn't obvious to non-fans.

For cases where characters from different media are drawn together, due to (fictionally) hailing from the same country.
