Recently there's been [some contention][1] regarding whether or not [tag:android] questions are on-topic. Actually, It seems this topic [has][2] [come][3] [up][4] [a][5] [lot][6] in the past.

As we're on a bit of a tag-cleaning bender, perhaps it's time we removed the [tag:android] tag entirely. Burn it. Completely. Gone. Maybe even blacklist it. This should help slow the influx of off-topic Android questions in the future.

But what about the questions asked in the past, or questions which **are** on topic? Well, for starters lets take a look at the off-topic reason:

>and it is **not about** …  
> ...  
- electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones, **except insofar as they interface with your computer**  
><sub>[On-topic help page][7]</sub>

Emphasis mine. I Bold this point because it emphasises how these questions should be tagged:

- If a question is asking how to interface with a computer, then tag it with the OS and any relevant interfacing technology tag (like terminals, SSH/RDP clients etc) and **remove [tag:android] from them**.

Otherwise:

- If a question is asking an off-topic question, but it would fit/be on topic at Android.SE*, **flag it for attention**.
- If Super User or Android.SE mods disagree with the migration, **delete it**.

<sub>* Use some discretion when flagging for migration. If a question is just **terrible**, flag for removal, or cast a delete vote if you have the permissions to do so. ***[Also make sure to check Android.SE's on/off topic list!][8]***
