We've got a few dozen questions tagged with .

To me, this is not a useful tag.

Who's an expert on dates? Who is going to follow this tag?

A tag should be able to describe a question all by itself. Those tagged with "date" run the gamut from how to format a date value (in a number of different apps) to how to search by date, to filtering by date range.

Before I went on a cleanup spree, I wanted to get opinions from the rest of the community.

    As half of the those tags are used for Google Spreadsheets, I'm there to follow. Expert on dates, no, that's Jon Skeet.

From the list of questions we have it seems to me that it should be half of a compound tag something like or .

I also note a tag and a tag. Neither of which seem to be that useful either.

  • I'll see if I can clean up "date" with "date-format" and see what's left.

Somebody took the liberty of creating a wiki text for that tag, quite recently.

That, for me, justifies the existence of the tag.

    That's a pretty weak justification to keep a tag. I could just as easily write a very nice tag wiki on muffins, but that wouldn't make it any more on-topic or useful.
