Did you investigate who used that tag and maybe why? Was it a bot, a
editor preset, an import or manual user input? I would like to have this
question answered before a mechanical edit.

IMHO Any good mechanical edit correcting "wrong tagging" should do some
investigation of that kind.

Best regards
