Bible interpretation and hermeneutical approaches

I have suggested on Meta previously that bible-interpretation should be a synonym of exegesis. The problem was that not everything with the first tag should have the second instead.

But from looking at BH I've had a new idea: we should borrow their tag hermeneutical-approaches. bible-interpretation should still be made a synonym of exegesis, because I think it is more often misused than used correctly, but the others can move to hermeneutical-approaches. (There are some that should be retagged to biblical-basis instead.)

Here are some questions I think would be appropriately tagged as hermeneutical-approaches:

If you don't like this suggestion, can you explain why?

Makes sense to me.

hermeneutical-approaches implies to me that the question is about how to do hermeneutics or the validity of some approach. I don't see that as synonymous to exegesis.

I think I was implying that "hermemeutical-approaches" is off-topic on this site.

@fredsbendtheGrinch See my edit for a few questions I think would be appropriately tagged with hermemeutical-approaches.

The first three, yes that makes some sense. I think the fourth should maybe be closed as primarily opinion based. I see the 5th as needing the exegesis tag (it has bible-interpretation), but not the hermeneutical-approaches tag.
