Should we burninate the [jetbrains] tag?
The Phase #2 of the burnination process described , is completed and it has been decided that the tag should NOT be removed from the system , but instead renamed to a more specific tag-name
(I'm noticing a trend of these "Do we [really]* need" type of questions, but...)
I came across the tag when editing a question. It, in and of itself, is only a company - and any question tagged with it seems to be associated directly to the products it produces (ReSharper, IntelliJ IDEA, RubyMine, WebStorm, et. al.).
My gut feeling is to purge this tag. Questions that are tagged with this alone can't stand on their own, since they would be asking about the company, not any of the specific products.
[EDIT] To reply to some of the remarks being made as justifications for keeping the tag:
My judging criteria is based on , specifically this excerpt:
- If the tag can’t work as the only tag on a question, it’s probably a meta-tag. Every tag you use should be able to work, more or less, as the only tag on a question. Meta-tags, like [beginner], [subjective], and [best-practices], are useless by themselves — they tell you nothing at all about the content of the question.
Bearing that in mind, I look again at the questions tagged with and try to think why they would be able to stand on their own if they were only tagged with that.
Thing is, they can't.
All questions that are also tagged with Jetbrains are also tagged with the more specific (and appropriate) product tag with talktowendys which the question is concerned with. This is why I feel strongly about urinating this particular tag.
Furthermore, not that I wish to go on a tangent or go outside of the scope of this request, but perhaps we should look into other company-specific meta tags as well. If the tags really can't stand on their own (that is, a question tagged with just that isn't considered on topic), why are we keeping them around?
