I have noticed that the definitions and usage of the eastern-orthodox and orthodox tags are identical. I also noticed that greek-orthodox is a separate tag, yet this is also Eastern Orthodox (it is not a separate 'denomination' as in Protestantism, it is the same Church under a different jurisdiction. It would be more akin to having a separate tag for different dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church, which in my opinion makes no sense). All of the posts currently tagged orthodox are related to Eastern Orthodoxy. How should this redundancy be resolved?

I propose establishing orthodox as a synonym for eastern-orthodox, which can be voted for (or against) here.
I would propose removing the greek-orthodox tag and placing the four (4) posts tagged this way under the eastern-orthodox tag. Otherwise this opens up the possibility of separate tags for every national jurisdiction of Eastern Orthodoxy (one for every eastern European nation).

I tried, but in addition to the 1250 rep, you also have to have 5 upvotes on the tag. Sheesh! Commented Feb 2, 2013 at 1:06

@AffableGeek that's crazy, looks like someone approved it though. Thanks for trying!– DanCommented Feb 2, 2013 at 18:56

I've removed the greek-orthodox tag from the four (4) posts that had it, they were all tagged eastern-orthodox already. Just waiting for someone to delete the greek-orthodox tag who has authority to do so.– DanCommented Feb 2, 2013 at 19:05

1@DanO'Day. If a tag exists on no posts, it will soon disappear naturally, with no need for moderator intervention.– TRiGCommented Feb 2, 2013 at 19:49
We could delete the orthodox and the greek-orthodox tags and only have an eastern-orthodox tag for simplicity. This is not my preferred solution but I wanted to have it as an option here.
