> I am not convinced. Randomly checking a few mapillary tags, I found many that are IMHO unsuitable to serve for verifying anything

What does that prove? Many are just as useful as Wikimedia links.

Or are you suggesting to delete all Wikimedia links too?

It means most people are uploading images to Mapillary as part of contributing to OpenStreetMap. So when it's appropriate to link to an image to document an object it's a likely that it will already be available in Mapillary. Wikimedia serves a different purpose: its goal is not to have photos of every Wallace fountain but to have one representative photo of a Wallace fountain. What we want in OSM is to provide a photo of the Wallace Fountain in a specific location so applications can show that photo rather than a myriad of other nearby photos that don't show the object and don't allow locating it.

But if you don't think it makes sense to link to Mapillary photos, how do you justify linking to Wikimedia photos?
Why the difference in treatment?
