Question: In two of my latest reviewed edits, the [fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'") tag was removed from the post, as the context was Android. The current Stack Overflow [fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'") tag refers to a Python library, but there is also a [build tool framework](https://get.fabric.io/?signup_campaign_id=https://get.fabric.io) for Android called Fabric.

Therefore, I would like to help by searching questions with these tags: [android](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android "show questions tagged 'android'")[fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'"). There are about 20 questions. I could easily remove the [fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'") tag from all them. But, I have read about tags - nuking, splitting, burninating :-), merging, cleaning tags and so on. This subject is not so easy. So before making a mess, I'd like to ask for a short hint:

* Is it ok to remove a not matching tag from a series of questions?
* I assume 20 questions are far too less to suggest splitting [fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'") into `[fabric.python]` and `[fabric.android]`, right? Or would splitting support the [intention of cleaning the [android] tag](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/252860/help-us-clean-up-the-android-tag)?

I've read this question: [I would like to clean up [like]](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/286471/i-would-like-to-clean-up-like) which shows me that I'm basically on the right way.

Thank you for any hint.

Yes, that's definitely ok.

It's probably too few to support creating a `[fabric.python]` tag. Since there are over 1100 questions currently tagged [fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'"), and 98% of them are about Python, it's probably better to just leave that tag alone and create one new [fabric-android](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric-android "show questions tagged 'fabric-android'") tag.
There are already at least three tags related to the framework you're talking about. Take a look at [fabric-twitter](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric-twitter "show questions tagged 'fabric-twitter'") (382 Q), [twitter-fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/twitter-fabric "show questions tagged 'twitter-fabric'") (123 Q) and [fabric.io](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric.io "show questions tagged 'fabric.io'") (25 Q). Also we have a suspicious [development-fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/development-fabric "show questions tagged 'development-fabric'") (3 Q) which probably should be burninated as it is too ambiguous.

So we do not need neither to split [fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric "show questions tagged 'fabric'") (1127 Q) nor to introduce new tags. 
What we actually need is deeper look at what we already have around.

**Edit:**  

[twitter-fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/twitter-fabric "show questions tagged 'twitter-fabric'") and [fabric-twitter](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fabric-twitter "show questions tagged 'fabric-twitter'") are synonyms now.  

[development-fabric](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/development-fabric "show questions tagged 'development-fabric'") is gone.
