OK, just saw the tag today with six instances. We should probably burninate that one. Let's not let it get any more populated.

There's only 6 instances; just edit them out. Orphan tags are deleted daily

That will still leave the tag to be used or recreated, it needs to be done away with. –  Lance Roberts Oct 31 '11 at 7:21

@LanceRoberts It doesn't leave it around, "orphan tags are deleted daily". It could be recreated if a user had enough rep, yes; are you asking for it to be blacklisted? It doesn't seem popular enough to need it –  Michael Mrozek Oct 31 '11 at 7:24

@Night, if a question is stripped of tags it acquires the untagged tag. –  Lance Roberts Oct 31 '11 at 7:28
    
Yeh, it's not a big deal, just stupid tag I'd rather not see come back. I'll get around to editing it out at some time. –  Lance Roberts Oct 31 '11 at 7:29
