Hm interesting, I've never actually noticed a connection between number of tags and quality of fic. Even Tumblr-style tagging, I've seen really good fic with rambling in the tags, and I've seen ones where the tags were a bit of a red flag that I wouldn't like the plot and the characterization. On the other end, I will often click on fic just because I'm curious, and things with very minimal tagging and summary often make me curious, so I've read a LOT of fic that just uses 0-3 additional tags and... it's a real crapshoot, man. I've read fics that were absolutely beautiful and couldn't really be tagged with much else because they were like gen and character study -- there wasn't much else you could say about them other than that, but they were really great fics. And then I've read stories where there just... isn't a story. They were like someone's random shower thought rendered into poorly-written fic form (yes, with bad SPAG), and not something I think is a fic worth sharing with the world/publishing. So quality at the lower end in terms of number of tags has been really variable to me.

Also, as people mentioned above, sometimes number of tags is more a function of genre than anything (gen often has less things it can be tagged with while porn needs a lot of tags, just as a courtesy). I just haven't found number of tags to be a quality marker. (If we're talking about number of *fandom* tags, though...)
