Tailoring is certainly a craft to me, comparable to shoemaking,
both in creating a new suit and making alterations/repairs.

However, while craft=shoemaker is correctly documented in the wiki [1],
(usage 2520), the tag craft=tailor was redirected to shop=tailor [2]
a year ago.

Currently craft=tailor is used 1585 times, shop=tailor 4876 times.
Some of the latter might include shops for tailoring accessories,
aka shop=sewing (guessing - I don't know).

I see no reason to discourage the more consistent tagging
"based on taginfo and prior usage" as the redirect was reasoned.
