Yes, I certainly agree that the notions you mention are probably quite well=known for people working in some areas of category theory.
See: locally presentable category in nLab and they also have a tag on MO, accessible category in nLab, Accessible category in Wikipedia and they also have a tag on MO.
@ArnaudD. I agree with your assessment both of accessible-categories and locally-presentable-categories. (But I do not feel strongly enough to recreate the latter again. And I do not plan to removed (accessible-categories).)
We will see what other users think. (Certainly we all not the only users who check which new tags were created.
This shows a slight advantage of suggesting a new tag on meta first - there is at least a chance that somebody who knows the topic will comment on the tag and say whether they consider it useful. (Also I will certainly admit that most tag-related discussions in the tag management thread, including proposal for new tags, go largely unnoticed.)
Some people have stronger feelings about the question whether new tags should be on meta first: Should every new tag be discussed on meta before creation?
Count me as someone who thinks that adding a new tag without any second opinions or explanation is seriously inappropriate. Also the edits, yes. But I agree that as a one-off behavior it isn't the worst thing one can do. — Asaf Karagila ♦ Nov 23 at 7:55

It seems like we agree on all these matters. Like you, I'm not sure I'd recreate locally-presentable-categories, but I thought I would say something "for the record", in case someone thinks the tag is not useful and removes it.
Yes. I'd guess that if a tag is created and removed several times (generalization was mentioned recently), then it will eventually lead to a discussion on meta bout the tag.
As far as I can tell, this was the first time the tags named locally-presentable-categories or accessible-categories were created.

And it is questionable whether or not something like this might be useful - but at least when removal of some tag is suggested on meta, quite often it's possible to find in this room when the tag was created.
But it is certainly better to make a post about a new tag than just post here some dummy post just in order to prevent the room from getting frozen.
@ArnaudD. Well, I found no post with such tags among deleted questions, either: data.stackexchange.com/math/query/883845/… data.stackexchange.com/math/query/883845/…
(In case you're curious : the new tag that I mentioned a few comments above was "ends-coends", and the creator removed it after I suggested replacing it with limits-colimits.)

I see. It was here: math.stackexchange.com/posts/2981684/revisions And we can use this as a test of the query I mentioned above: data.stackexchange.com/math/query/927958/…
I should say that it is basically just a modification of arjafi's query posted in this meta discussion: Can you tell who created a tag.
Coends and adjunctions: "I was reading Fosco Loregian's paper This is the co/end, my only co/friend, and here's something that I don't understand in an exercise."
