Rename croupier -> dealer

Posted under Tags

BUR #58063 is pending approval.

create alias croupier -> dealer

I can only submit an alias request, but quite frankly, this needs to be renamed, not aliased, in my opinion.

I just don't see any practical reason why this tag termed this way but I reckon virtually no one here is actually using the term 'croupier' in regular parlance. Extremely likely it's the main reason it's a tag gimped with only 254 posts in a trope heavily associated with bunny girls, casinos, and things of the like. I could only find one ancient thread on the topic that user's argumentation for it was purely *formality'" which just seems extremely weak and it hurt the tag in the long run. Hell, 'dealer' isn't even aliased to it either, and I couldn't find evidence of another usecase as in like a "car dealership" that might demonstrate a practical complication either. Maybe something like 'dealer_(gambling)' might ideal for future proofing, but nothing seems to exist for that particular purpose as of now, as far as I can tell.

Drug dealers?

That one definitely flew under my radar.

Agree drug dealers immediately come to mind. However, I would support card_dealer or dealer_(gambling) as renames/aliases because I've never heard the word croupier before in my life.

That's a good compromise? I only defaulted to 'dealer' simply because I couldn't see an actual pre-existing potential conflic arising, like not having an actual drug_dealer tag to begin with.
