The recommendation tag seems to be use for a variety of questions most of which could do without it. Should the tag be burninated?

Yes, when people use this tag, they almost always mean "recommender engine" here. Such questions should probably be tagged with recommender or recommender-engine instead. All the more so since recommendation is often used on SO to mean "asking for recommended resources", which is not the same thing nor a great type of question anyway.

$\begingroup$ I think the trend on SO toward more explicit tags has been beneficial, and I would strongly favor
recommender-engineoverrecommender- either will show up as a suggested tag when someone starts typing r-e-c-o-m... so I don't see any benefit to the shorter one. $\endgroup$– AirCommented Jul 25, 2014 at 18:11 -
$\begingroup$ I was going to ask this question. How about "recommender-system" like on stats SE? stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/recommender-system $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 16, 2015 at 3:29
