In the tag wiki is the following statement:

Cloud computing platform offered by Google. Online Google applications and platforms are off-topic here and should be asked on http://webapps.stackexchange.com/.

In the meta post: Where do EC2 and AWS questions truly belong? , I addressed the concern that these types of hosting/administration questions do not belong on Web Applications. The same holds for Google Cloud Platform. While GMail, Google Sheets, Google Docs are on topic on Web Applications, we are receiving questions that have to do with Linux shell access, etc., which are more appropriate for Super User.

I have pointed this out to a moderator in the past, and questions continued to be migrated over. I proposed to that moderator that the tag wiki should be changed, and attempted to make the change myselfmake the change myself, but (and rightly so) it was pointed out that perhaps a meta discussion was in order.

I would like to submit for consideration that this portion of the tag wiki be removed so that these questions are no longer migrated in error. If these questions truly don't belong on Super User, the tag wiki should point to where they do belong.
