Q:

Synonymous request: [IPL] and [Indian-premier-league]

Currently there are 6 questions tagged with ipl while one question was tagged with indian-premier-league which I re-tagged with ipl since the meaning of both tag is same. So should we make indian-premier-league tag a of synonymous of ipl?

A:

The following sports have the same IPL acronym:

Indian Premier League, a cricket league in India
Indonesian Premier League, a football league
Iran Pro League, a football league
Irish Premier League, a former football league
Israeli Premier League, a football league

So, I would say no to this particular request. I would, in fact, merge IPL to indian-premier-league without synonymization to further distinguish. Mind you, there are other premier leagues as tags: english-premier-league
