Why would they not be allowed?  If your local library does not think they would be useful, you can filter out the vocabularies you do not want.  Our imports are configured to retain only certain vocabularies:  LCSH, MESH, FAST, the RBMS vocabularies, and a few others.  Other than the FAST headings (which are automatically generated by OCLC), you can assume someone put the headings in the record because someone found them useful.

Subject: [PCCLIST] Evolution of a master record in OCLC

Hi All,
I was doing a set of subject heading corrections with regard to "Civil rights movements" (lcsh) vs "Civil rights movement" (series title) in the local database and found in the following bib record a plethora of "extras" in 6XX. The record was originally created and authenticated by LC (https://lccn.loc.gov/2016044049, a BSR par excellence!); now the 6XX have greatly expanded (OCoLC)ocn966314870).
My question is: Why is this type of expansion/additions even allowed on a master record? More user friendly?
Yang
