Not looked at all your examples, but i can't see a problem with your first.
It covers a large area of no just a building but car parking etc, and is
surround by landuse of another type.
These landuse areas are useful for rendering.
Rendering individual items when zoomed out clutters the map & slows down
rendering speeds (such as on GPSs), however it's still useful to
indicated that it is an urbanised area of some description.

Landuse areas such as residential, commercial, retail etc shouldn't have
names as location names are rarely of one landuse type. Much better to
add a separate node which can be specifically placed near the centre
where it can be rendered accurately.
Suburb names include school, parks, shopping areas etc so shouldn't be
placed on residential areas.
