How to reduce "infinite" Tags\categories? I need an advice!

Hello. I have to take care of the taxonomies of a very large site and I'm not sure how to deal with some duplicate archives (tags or categories).

1. For Example: I have dozens of TAGs like this: Micheal Jordan\ Jordan\ M. Jordan\ MJ, etc.

>> Once I decide which TAG to keep and once I include the contents in the archive I choose, what do I do with the others? I thought to eliminate them and then to make a 301 towards the chosen tag, is it correct?

​

1. Then I would like to do the same thing with almost empty archives, associating them in a new tag that can include them. For example by eliminating the Baseball, Cricket, Golf (with 1 article each in the last year) and making a new tag (for example, "other sports") and making a 301.

In your opinion is this correct?

​

Thanks in advance.
