You've got things the wrong way around. Obviously anybody can arrange a 
vote on literally anything with any rules they choose.

That is not a problem.

Expecting that the vote is binding on other people without their 
agreement and no widespread consensus that this is so, is however an issue.

Even when applied to the subject matter it is intended for, the proposal 
process is at best no more than a rough vetting that the proposal is not 
totally insane (though even that level is not being met as of late). If 
a specific tagging in the end is successful depends on the uptake by the 
wider community and support in the tools, not on the voting.

You, Florian and others are trying to replace this, survival of the 
fittest tagging evolution, by tagging by fiat. -You- need to show that 
this has wide community support and consensus, not the other way around.
