I oppose selectively deprecating contact:phone because without explaining whhy it diifers from other contact tags (populist appeals to tag counts don’t count) it makes tagging less orthogonal.

Hey,

now I'm ready to open a new proposal which you can see here
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Phone#Second_proposal_.28pending.29
I use the old proposal page for that but seperated content into section
to keep the history intact. The content is based on the discussion at
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-September/048339.html
. It tends to deprecate `contact:phone` in favor of the more used de-
facto `phone` tag. It's awful that we have two tags for the same
puropose in our database and that makes it more difficult for
developers and researchers to work with our data.

Cheers
