Vote up/down if you think the tag should/shouldn't be deleted.

I consider this as disruptive/having the potential to create off-topic questions as asking for advice on something has a conotation of some 'personal' question. This hardly ever makes a good MO question. Besides, it is basically meaningless as a tag, since most any question can be also construed as aking for advice on some thing or other, how to prove something, how to go about learning something, how to apply for a job, how to teach a course,... each of these might or might not be approriate MO question but they have little in common. The main use case in practice seems to be to tag 'career' and 'advice' so the latter feels somewhat redundant then too.
