[Similar to the old "bad tag collection" thread][1], I'm looking for suggestions/submissions of tags we still have hanging around on Server Fault, that we would be better off not having in existence anymore, because they're no longer on topic ([tag:career]), [because they should be merged into something else][2] ([tag:443]), or because they just plain suck so much it's painful ([tag:fixed]).
I'm also looking for tags that are a mess and need cleanup, but not might not need destroyed ([tag:documentation]).
Either way, questions that are locked for historical significance can be ♦-edited (therefore, retagged) without bumping them to the top of the active list... so I'll be temporarily locking questions I retag to minimize disruptions.
I've also created a new tag, [tag:historical] to help me deal with questions that don't really have a valid, on-topic tag that's applicable to them anymore.
Like the older bad tag older thread, the idea is to consolidate a bunch of retag/burninate requests into one, and this also allows me track tags I wish to kill off easily, without having hundreds of open browser tabs devoted to the purpose.
And of course, if anyone thinks a tag that I'm working on shouldn't be destroyed or cleaned up, that feedback is welcome as well. Post answers however you like - one tag per answer, multiple tags per answer, whatever - and I'll come by and add suggested tags to my list of tags to look into.

**A couple notes to anyone who wants to search out tags in need of being killed off:**
- Tags that **actually** have 0 questions are automatically deleted by a script daily.
- Tags with locked questions in them aren't affected by the deletion script.
- The individual page for a given tag (such as http://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/career) may ***lie*** to you!
- ![enter image description here][3]
- ![enter image description here][4]
- The default page for all tags is also a filthy, filthy liar.
- ![enter image description here][5]
- The small, grey number to the side of a tag indicates the number of questions a tag has, but doesn't count the number of *locked* questions in that tag.
- Tags without a number either have 0 unlocked questions in them, or aren't actually tags, but are synonyms.
