Are we sure that is a good tag?

The tag also exists. The tag-excerpt was created by the same user.
There are only few questions in those tags at the moment. (Of course, the number of questions is not the main criterion by which the appropriateness of a tag should be judged.)

Q: $f:\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$ be a function , $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 3\|x-y\| , \forall x,y \in \mathbb R^2$ ; is $f(\mathbb R^2)$ open in $\mathbb R$?

Saun DevLet $f:\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$ be a function such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 3\|x-y\| , \forall x,y \in \mathbb R^2$ , then is it true that $f$ maps open sets of $\mathbb R^2$ to open sets of $\mathbb R$ ? I can show that $f$ maps open sets to open sets in $f(\mathbb R^2)$ , so to prove the claim we...

Q: $X,Y$ be metric spaces , $f:X \to Y$ be a continuous and closed map , then the boundary of $f^{-1}(\{y\})$ is compact for every $y \in Y$ ?

@AsafKaragila Personally I can live with the tag. (And I will not miss it, if somebody decides to remove it.)
Do you plan to ask on meta, to see what other users think about this tag?
 
3:18 PM
@MartinSleziak I haven't decided.
 
But from what I read, it seems that you prefer removal of this tag (or these tags), right?
 
@MartinSleziak I'm a well known conservative when it comes to adding tags. :P
The answer is almost always "Do we really need this new tag?"
 
Personally I will not protest too much if they are removed.
We can save links to tag-wiki for closed-map and open-map.
If somebody disagrees with the removal of the tags, it will be easy to get the tag-wikis back.
 
With just three questions in both, I'm not sure if anyone can actually have grounds to protest. I just don't know if "open map" is something that will be hard to search for.
You know, hard enough, that it needs a separate tag.
 
@AsafKaragila Well it can be called open map or open function. If you want also catch formulations of the form "Show that this map is open" you cannot search for the exact phrase "open map". But searching for open map or open function will very probably catch many posts where some function and some open set are mentioned.
 
3:24 PM
Sure, but the search results begin by giving precedence to posts including the exact phrase.
 
It is not very strong argument in favor of the tag, but I would consider "not easy to search" an argument in favor of this tag.
Of course, if we keep those two tags there are many posts which should have them.
 
Perhaps a single tag for both?
Then we can chuck the current ones as synonyms, so they don't get recreated.
 
If we go this way, I would be for synonyms.
 
@soup: care to weigh in?
 
A moderator will be needed to approve those synonyms - there will be very few people with score 5 or higher in a relatively new tag with a few questions.
 
3:29 PM
@MartinSleziak I'm sure we can arrange something like that.

I'm not sure where to ask this, but I just saw this question. math.stackexchange.com/questions/1832178/… I'm sure the current tag isn't very helpful, but I'm not sure either which tags it should have. Any suggestions?
 
@HSN I have added summation, but I am not able to think about something much more reasonable. Perhaps ?

Q: Sum of ${x_1}^k+{x_2}^k+\dots+{x_n}^k$

Mateusz DuchalskiI was recently wondering if there is some quicker way to compute ${x_1}^k+{x_2}^k+\dots+{x_n}^k$ for any natural $k$ than just exponentiation and adding one-by-one? Thanks in advance.

 
HSN
Sounds like an improvement, not entirely sure about symmetric-polynomials. Thanks!
