Often a local consensus emerges because mappers encounter each others work and probably copy a particular approach: either, if they haven't seen such things mapped before, or if they didn't know any suitable tags. This is not a bad thing: it ensures that data does get captured, and usually it only pertains to fairly rare tags or situations.<br><br></div>Jerry<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 4 August 2017 at 12:04, Dave F <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:davefoxfac63@btinternet.com" target="_blank">davefoxfac63@btinternet.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I'm pretty sure we've had this conversion before, where I pointed
out OSM is not a historical record. If gone in the real world,it
should be removed from OSM. If you wish to store out date info,
transfer it to Open History Map.<br>
<br>
Seeing OSM is a global endeavour it's disappointing you keep repeat
'Around here...' as if Nottingham is somehow different & special
when compare with elsewhere. <br>

How different is the footprint of the new building?<br>
<br>
I would think that the new building will be of a similar
size to the old one - given the planing permissions.<br>
<br>
So unless you intend to put in the new building .. I would
leave it alone - that gives at least an indication that
there is a building there.<br>
<br>
Add a note to say it has been replaced with something
similar?<br>
