# Do we really want (discrete-mathematics) $\to$ (combinatorics) synonym?

I have noticed in the list of tag synonyms that a synonym $\to$ has been suggested. Currently it awaits votes from users.

I am not sure this is a reasonable tag synonym. But I definitely think that such a synonym should not be created without discussing it on meta beforehand - this is a synonym which would influence a very big number of questions.

EDIT: In the meantime, the synonym suggestion has been downvoted to $-2$ and hence removed. (Probably it was noticed partly thanks to this meta post.)

• I feel like it's a good idea to alter the person whose suggestion this was: @Leila Hatami – Stella Biderman Apr 4 '17 at 17:37
• @StellaBiderman That won't notify Leila since they did not comment on this post. See meta.stackexchange.com/questions/43019/… – Mike Earnest Apr 4 '17 at 18:44
• @MikeEarnest oh interesting. Thanks for the information. – Stella Biderman Apr 4 '17 at 18:44
• Also, it's probably a better idea to alert Leila than to alter her. – Gerry Myerson Apr 5 '17 at 7:02
• @StellaBiderman I have pinged Leila Hatami in chat. To my best knowledge of chat and notifications in chat, she should get some notification about this. – Martin Sleziak Apr 5 '17 at 9:28
• @MartinSleziak Thank you for notifying me. The suggestion has been closed and there is post with 19 votes against it! I know that this two concepts are far away but I suggest it for more organization. I thought that removing combinatorics and merge it to discrete math could be useful.... – MR_BD Apr 5 '17 at 10:56
