The math should be merged into mathematics, and a synonym relation set up, with mathematics as the canonical tag. Ideally, maths would also exist as a synonym.

There were only three questions tagged with math. I found that for two of them the tag was irrelevant, and the third one I changed to mathematics. That will cause the system to delete the math tag, unless someone tags a questions with it in the next pass of the tag deleting job.
I haven't done anything about maths, and I don't know if I can, but for now there are no questions with that tag.

3$\begingroup$ Now all that needs to be done is to hunt down someone with at least 5 points in
mathematicsto propose the synonyms, and a few others to vote on them. Apparently I haven't ever even answered a question about maths here, let alone received any votes on it. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 8, 2019 at 13:42 -
$\begingroup$ @StarfishPrime I'm ready, waiting and unclear how to proceed. Just tried and received the dreaded: "Failed to propose synonym:The suggested tag must exist in the system before you propose it as a synonym" Has someone already helpfully (and sneakily) deleted it then? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 9, 2019 at 18:39

$\begingroup$ @StarfishPrime Yes, is that bad? I was assuming it wasn't a meta-tag being discussed. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 9, 2019 at 19:20

$\begingroup$ @WeareMonica. weird, seems like that should have worked. I'd try with some other tag that I have enough points to edit, only I'm hesitant to add testing-only synonyms and can't think of any real and useful ones. Maybe you do have to retag another question first to make your suggestion somehow real. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 9, 2019 at 19:23

$\begingroup$ If it's no longer on any posts, it was probably auto-deleted, @WeareMonica. $\endgroup$– TRiGCommented Nov 20, 2019 at 14:37
[math]- retagging them to[mathematics]will be the simplest path. $\endgroup$
