Automatically clean up tags with zero posts
There are currently seven tags with zero posts associated with them in the Meta Q&A category1 (excluding tags like TibetLhasatourpackage which have deleted posts associated with them.) These tags are kind of annoying since they clog up the suggested tags list (and the tags page when sorting by hierarchy, since that sorts alphabetically) and just don't serve any purpose.
As the community grows older, these tags will accumulate, since currently they must be manually deleted. Therefore, I propose that the system should automatically delete tags that have zero posts associated with them to keep the tag list clean. Tags can just be created again if a post really needs it for some reason, so I can't think of any cons to doing this.

One of which is status-launched, which I'm fairly sure is in Q&A category tags by mistake. That tag is used only in Site Proposals. ↩
