Let a and b be coprime positive integers. Then the number a+b divides the binomial coefficient ${a+b \choose a}$. I know how to prove this combinatorially - for example after choosing an ordered set of a+b elements, there is a free action of a cyclic group of order a+b on the set of a-element sub...
I'd guess it's a reasonable tag, for example, on Mathematics there is a tag called (combinatorial-proofs).

Just out of curiosity, does somebody has a reasonable idea where tag-removed in the question Stone–Čech Compactification of ZZ\mathbb{Z} with Fürstenberg Topology comes from?

The Stone–Čech Compactification of $\mathbb{N}$ as a discrete space has been extensively studied and can be represented using ultrafilters. Consider $X=(\mathbb{Z},\mathcal{T})$, where $\mathcal{T}$ is the Fürstenberg topology generated by arithmetic sequences. Equipped with this exotic topology...
The oldest version I see in the internet archive is from 2014 and it already contains the tag-removed tag.
Ignoring the fact that I haven't done something like this yet - so I would have to learn how to work this data dump - I am not sure whether they are available also for MO.
I know that they are available on Internet Archive for Stack Exchange sites: stackoverflow.blog/2014/01/23/… I am not sure where MathOverflow content has been archived in this form (or some other form) before MO joined the SE network.

BTW in the past two months the number of questions with deprecated tags decreased exactly by one (from 884 to 883).
