If there is name=Tree added to every single tree in an a given area then you can.

Or rescuing [name=Buildings area=yes] areas.

See https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/13kR for name=Tree

Some cases are fixable without on the ground survey.

or name=Casa (that means house in one of languages)

See https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/13kT for global scan.

PS Obviously, blind editing is a bad idea.
Someone caused recently damage in Poland 
due to mindless removal of name=House

See https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(marka)

but see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/799792657
and https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/13kX in general
