All rings are supposed to have a unit element $1$ here. Let $N\subset \mathbb N_{\geqslant 2}$ be the set such that $n\in N $ if, and only if, there does not exist a non commutative ring of cardinal $n$. For instance, $16\notin N$ because $A=M_2(\mathbb F_2)$ is a non commutative ring and $\ver...

I am in favor of getting rid of this tag. Looks like a case of useless badge-hunting to me. — Jyrki Lahtonen ♦ 35 mins ago
@JyrkiLahtonen I guess score +4 is sufficient to consider it a consensus. (We do not get a lot of votes on tag-related issues.) Will the tag be removed by mods (assuming you and other mods agree that it should be removed), or should it be removed manually? — Martin Sleziak 15 mins ago
@MartinSleziak I started removing it manually, but if I figure out /recall how to remove it with a single strike I will :-) — Jyrki Lahtonen ♦ 5 mins ago
@JyrkiLahtonen I can only write what I recall other mods mentioned. It seems that merging two tags effectively removes the tag. But this is probably not an ideal option here.
I see that this is not marked status-completed: Moderators should be able to remove / burninate a tag themselves
So I guess there's no way to do this without involving a dev. (Well, other than merging, which is no good here.)
@JyrkiLahtonen I guess that other than merging with another tag - which is probably not good for this tag - mods probably can't do it. Anyway, since this is unrelated to this specific tag, we can move the discussion to chat. (Although I am not sure there is much to be added.) — Martin Sleziak 5 secs ago
Anyway, I will start with the ones which are not tagged geometry. Just in case that merging could be a reasonable solution at least for some of them. (If all remaining questions with this tag are also tagged geometry, maybe they can be retagged without boumping..)
Re: case of useless badge-hunting. Seeing that several from the most active editors have been temporarily suspended, I should probably be more careful with my edits, too.

specific-question Would there be some suitable tags to add to this question. What about axioms? And math-history?

I was reading an article about back ground of Killing's work by Thomas Hawkins from Historia mathematica $1980$ (doi: 10.1016/0315-0860(80)90027-0). It was written that Killing stated that if one drop assumptions infinitude of straight line and parallel postulates four possibilities arise, which ...

@MartinSleziak I have added tag-wiki - I admit that it contains almost nothing, but in the tag-wiki I have at least possibility to add Wikipedia link - links are not possible in tag-excerpt.
