Aug 29, 2019 at 16:35 comment added Semidiurnal Simon Great! Yes, I do see a (vote to) delete option on the linked closed question. I guess they have to be closed first before they can be deleted.

Aug 29, 2019 at 13:13 comment added user12525 I don't know what's the interaction between html of a closed question and Google's spider, but I think our acts are starting to have some effect.
Aug 29, 2019 at 13:11 comment added user12525 Today I typed "identify my rock" Semidiurnal and the first sugest of Google is no longer stack. It is usgs, that advices what we should have adviced since the first of those questions entered on our site "Rocks and minerals are extremely difficult to identify through photographs. You will get the best results by taking your rock or mineral to a local source where it can be handled and examined closely"
Aug 29, 2019 at 11:16 comment added user12525 @Semidiurnal Simon can you confirm you have the option on closed questions please? Myself I like to order data, it gives me pleasure, but I guess the task is so boring we will wait for octobre to be gerrit who asume the time to delete the 400 questions. I ask it because, until octobre, it won't be a bad idea to delete questions that appear first for "identify my rock".You can type it yourself and see the five questions I am refering, but they are still on hold. System automatically put them closed in 5 days.

Aug 27, 2019 at 20:49 comment added Semidiurnal Simon @Universal_learner you do realise that we'll still appear high in Google for some time anyway? In any case, I'm a +2k user, and I can't find the delete option...
Aug 27, 2019 at 11:46 comment added user12525 @Jan Doggen If you agree we can save fossils questions too for the moment, untag them too (just fossils and paleontology). That would leave the list with 100% of id-my-stone questions, all closed and prepared to be deleted without need of discrimination betweem questions.
Aug 27, 2019 at 11:33 comment added user12525 @Jan Doggen here on comments on Spencer answer "We can [ban the tag"], linking to a meta post of something called black list -> meta.stackexchange.com/tags/tag-blacklist/info
Aug 27, 2019 at 11:17 comment added Jan Doggen Don't jump to conclusions. You are even stating as fact (in your edits) that the ID Request tag is going to be blacklisted, but that is nowhere to be found, especially not in earthscience.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1775/…
Aug 27, 2019 at 10:22 comment added user12525 @Jan Doggen I am also going to untag id-request the questions that are related with meteorology. Also, if you agree we can untag fossils questions too. Then the hole list of questions will be closed and prepared for deletion. I think it is congruent with the fact mods are gonna include the tag on some kind of black-list
Aug 27, 2019 at 7:51 comment added Jan Doggen Doing the same thing. For (paleontology) question that seem worth keeping, I edit them (usually the titles) to make them more on-topic.
