People often tag their questions with the words from the question title. Other times they use some syntactic keywords or classes. Examples:
[arraylist]
[extends]
[properties]
[stringbuffer]
[break]
- etc, etc.
From time to time I remove those tags, because they do not categorize the question. In my view tags are used by users to watch (and answer). And I will be surprised if someone has chosen to watch the [extends]
tag.
So, am I right to do so?

extends
tag can possibly refer to a question about inheritance, or about language syntax. So there isn't a way that you can say that the tag should categorically be deleted from all questions. The same principle is true for all of your other examples.break
statement, but there are at least two or three (How do I break all the way out if I'm nested N levels deep infor
loops?) and there's no harm in tagging them as such. I guess I don't see much problem with these tags, overall.
