Burninate [data]?

Question

UPDATE: At present there are NO Qs tagged data - though it is certain to rear its ugly head again unless blacklisted.

---

On Stack Overflow it has been accepted that the tag data is hopelessly too broad to serve a tag's purpose and after a massive struggle, was eventually blacklisted there.

Are circumstances here enough different to justify its retention?

Other tags with "data" in them:

data-validation data-visualization data-recovery google-data-studio

Answer 1

Oh, jeez, what a mess.

Yes, that's a worthless tag. It's not conveying any useful information on any of the questions I see. And it has no context unless also paired with a tag for a web app.

Yes, it should be burninated.

In some cases, it can be replaced with one of these:

• migrate-data
• data-liberation
• data-recovery
• data-validation
• data-visualization
