<p>I don't think arguments as "is the more generic term" are all
that convincing in the context of OSM. There are quite a number of
cases in OSM where a well established tag with proper
documentation may not always have the most "appropriate" name for
its key or value. I think the current changes by Tom are OK, based
on the general knowledge of seeing the type of structures edited
with "building=grandstand", and based on the original new
description of the "building=stands" tag, including stadium photo
and referring to "big tribunes". So I don't think these features,
if tagged with "building=stands", were supposed to signify
something entirely different from the now documented
"building=grandstand".</p>
<p>And although I referred to building=stadium and
building=grandstand used somewhat interchangeably,
building=stadium is generally more used for entire concentric or
enclosed structures including all additional facilities of a true
sports stadium, while the building=grandstand is more for
individual and somewhat smaller grandstand structures not
surrounding an entire playing field.<br>
</p>
<p>To be honest, I would leave it for now, I think they are distinct
enough to maintain as separate tags. As stated above, I think the
current edit is OK in the context of what I've seen.</p>

It looks as if stands and grandstand are different terms
for seating around a sports pitch.<br>
</div>
The Wikipedia page "Stadium" refers several times to
"stands" when it talks about seating in a stadium. And the
Wikpedia page "Bleacher" is about "bleachers or stands",
stating that these are US-English terms for basic seating
facilities around sports pitches<br>
</div>
A "grandstand" is a grand stand according to Wikipedia. <br>
</div>
<div>Also an indication: a Google image search for "cricket,
stands" shows a number photos that I would have tagged as
grandstands in OSM.</div>
<div>In essence, it looks as if "stands" is the more generic
term and hence should not be discouraged.<br>
