[HOT] idp:camp_site=spontaneous_camp from Nepal earthquake

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Mateusz,
After the earthquake in 2015, we did obtain post-disaster images were we could observe in parks and open spaces, the spontaneous camps.  After such events, the partners want to keep these for a short period. But it is surely time to remove these. Could the Nepal community tell us if they agree to remove these ?

  During mapping in Nepal I encountered 

idp:camp_site=spontaneous_camp
damage:event=nepal_earthquake_2015

like https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/341110446/history

It is not possible for me to confirm this as aerial imagery is low
and I have no ability to survey on the ground, but it seems very
likely to me that this data is no longer correct.

Or is my assumption that  spontaneous camps from 2015 are now
gone is wrong?

See http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/13SO for query that finds about
12 000 of camps from 2015 Nepal earthquake.

Is anyone aware who was using or is still using this data?

Is anyone maintaining this data?

What is the meaning of this tags? It seems to me that it describes
temporary, short-term camp (probably not really suitable for
mapping in OSM, but I understand why someone decided to push
data into the closest available hosting).

I found 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/Humanitarian_Data_Model_OLD#Internally_Displaced_People_.28IDPs.29_camp_site
but it is not really answering my questions.

Is there a better place to ask this questions?

Is anyone aware whatever this objects can now be safely deleted
as outdated? If this objects are no longer existing then this should
be deleted to make mapping new things and updating existing data
easier.

But I want to be sure that I know what I am doing before deleting anything.
