Should we merge the tags [folk] and [folk-music]?

Question

We currently have the tags folk and folk-music. Both tags serve the same purpose, so it seems redundant to have both of them.

So, can we mark folk-music as a synonym of folk? As pointed out by @Bebs here, it is unnecessary to add "-music" in a tag, so it makes sense to have folk as the main tag.

The stats look like this currently:

• 8 questions tagged solely with folk (2 unanswered).
• 19 questions tagged solely with folk-music (7 unanswered).
• 2 tagged with both (no unanswered).

Answer 1

Yes, we should merge them.

Unfortunately, I can't do it, since I don't have the right for, but no doubt a mod will do.
