Time to burninate [small-electronics]?

Question

There has been a tag small-electronics on this site, and I have no idea what it means. Is there such a thing as small and big electronics? I suggest to delete the tag small-electronics

Answer 1

There isn't a need for this tag and I don't see a need for the tag, it doesn't follow the recommendation on tags because it's to 'meta'. If nobody else has a problem with removal, remove the tags from each question and I'll delete it.

Edit:

The tag has be blacklisted

Answer 2

Currently (as of 2021-01-03) there are 174 questions tagged small-electronics, and based on the upvotes, number of answers, and general quality of the questions and answers, it seems there is some good content there -- but even with 4 tag watchers, there really isn't any clear meaning to what makes these questions "small electronics". In many cases, the questions and answers would still be useful and could be found without the "small electronics" tag, but there are a few questions that would be left untagged.

I ran a SE data query to find questions that have no other tags besides "small-electronics" (link below); so before we delete the tag small-electronics, we should examine each of these (9) remaining questions and either retag or close/delete these questions, otherwise they will become untagged. Some of these questions have accepted answers, multiple answers, upvotes, bookmarks (favorite), so there's some value worth saving.

We should try to retag only a few at a time, to avoid spamming the "active questions" page -- retagging a question bumps it up to the front of the list, and it doesn't take very much retagging activity to drown out actual new questions.

As of 2021-01-04, these are the questions that have only the single tag small-electronics:

For reference, the query is here (originally from user Passerby):

https://data.stackexchange.com/electronics/query/372728/find-questions-with-a-single-tag-now-case-insensitive?Tag=small-electronics

Declare @Tags nvarchar(150)
Set @Tags='<##Tag##>'
Set @Tags = Lower(@Tags)

Select Top 5000 Id As [Post Link], CreationDate, ClosedDate
From Posts
Where Title is not null And Tags=@Tags
Order By CreationDate Desc

When there are no longer any questions meeting this criteria, it will then be safe to delete the tag administratively, and blacklist it (I think that requires one of the diamond-moderators).
