| Jun 5, 2017 at 20:29 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | [2/2] Different names - again, this could be a problem for author tags too (see this meta post). Other languages - yet again, same problem for author tags. Look at all the different ways of spelling Tchaikovsky in English! In fact, this is more a problem for author tags than for title tags, since titles are usually translated but authors' names aren't. | |
| Jun 5, 2017 at 20:29 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor Mod | The only good points here are length and duplication. New users - yes, this could be a problem, but the same applies to author tags, or indeed any tags except for extremely generic ones like symbolism or poetry. Your argument doesn't say anything special about author tags; it's just a problem we have to cope with in general. [1/2] | |

| Jun 5, 2017 at 18:52 | comment | added | user80 | I can see an argument to be made for keeping tags on specific works that tend to draw a lot of focus for one reason or another - either canonical familiarity like Harry Potter, or literary familiarity like The Odyssey. But the other consideration is that, in cases besides these, individual book tags don't really help searchability in any way. They're just clutter. | |
