[HOT] "area to be digitalised"

[Mateusz Konieczny]

name=area to be digitized
is incorrect, misuse of name tag and is not useful

Such tag should be deleted
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/700049715
(I deleted entire object here as it was duplicating mapped location,
some can be repurposed as landuse)

See 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Incorrect_tagging_for_the_renderer

I m not sure is it useful, but it would be possible to create notes
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes
But "this village has no buildings at all" is automatically detectable.

If you spot such graffiti, please remove it.

If it was added recently or user is still doing this - contacting someone
who added it is likely a good idea.

Creating notes or adding fixme=
( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Fixme ) may be also desirable,

See https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=area%20to%20be%20digitized <https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=area%20to%20be%20digitized#map=18/14.00715/6.04317>
to find more cases of invalid entries in OSM data.
