@NajibIdrissi IMO (intersection) should definitely be done away with. I'll get a request off to a CM to get them to kill it. The (morphisms-of-schemes) could really be gotten rid of by almost anyone by simply editing it out of the (currently) 8 questions tagged with it.

As for (art), I actually think it could be a viable tag, although currently it's probably used in too many disparate contexts to make it worthwhile. I actually had thought to post something to that request a little while ago, but got sidetracked.

There's pretty good support for removing the (intersection) tag. It's pretty big and can't really be merged into anything else, so I've put in a request for a CM to kill it. As it stands this would create a fair number of (untagged) questions. So I ask for help in going through the questions here which are tagged with only (intersection) to do something to them.

@ArthurFischer Two questions remain. I don't think they add value to MSE, so they could be closed/deleted.

Najib IdrissiAlong the line of morphisms-of-schemes, I see no reasonable justification for having the tags graph-isomorphism, vector-space-isomorphism and group-isomorphism. I suggest that they are made respectively synonyms of graph-theory, vector-spaces and group-theory.

I'm not sure at least about graph-isomorphism - that's certainly more specific than just graph theory — Grigory M 2 hours ago

bartoThe congruences-issue should not be forgotten. It has been mentioned more than a year ago in Disambiguating the [congruences] tag but has not been solved since. Gathering the main ideas from the answers there: Create congruences-geometry Create polynomial-congruences Create congruence-relations...

Maybe that post is useful in the sense that it reminds users about an older issue:

Q: Disambiguating the [congruences] tag

Lord_FarinThe tags congruences and modular-arithmetic seem to cover similar ground (judging from the questions which have them). However, the former can also be misunderstood as talking about the general congruence relation (i.e. a relation $R$ such that $aRb$ and $cRd$ imply $(a\circ c)R(b\circ d)$ with ...

On the other hand, this might lead to fragmentation of the discussion.
Moreover, this answer mentions several possibilities what to do with . So meaning of upvotes and downvotes on this answer in "the long thread" will be rather unclear.

Martin SleziakThe tag gcd is already synonym of divisibility. It seems logical that the tag least-common-multiple should also be a synonym. (And maybe also lcm could be created and added to the synonyms; so that some user does not create this tag as a separate tag in the future.) As I do not have sufficientl...

I proposed the synonyms. (On the after-thought: it would even be worse fo gcd if it were a problem. There is even a specific notion of domains where one has a gcd, creatively called gcd-domain.) — quid 6 mins ago
Thanks! I should point out that the tag (gcd) was previously discussed here. (The accepted answer is the suggestion to create the synonym.) — Martin Sleziak 1 min ago
