Increasing reputation needed for creating tags?

At present, the reputation threshold for creating new tags is at 300, making this accessible for relatively new and inexperienced users. A lot of new tags created now (2022) are unnecessary, or simply misspellings or new names for existing tags. One of the last ones I nuked was stoch.

A low threshold was necessary when the site was young, to populate the tags! but those days seem past. Some sites have increased the threshold, like

• Math SE (1000)

• SO (1500)

while some others keep it at 300 (Tex/LaTeX, MathOverflow).

I propose we ask SE to increase the threshold to 1500.
