Hey,

Happy to provide some more context. The tag being voted is a brand new tag
that has never been used before namely virtual_tour. So it is normal that
it cannot be found in taginfo as it has never been used before.

The only reason this one person rejects the proposal is because the tag has
never been used in OSM.

Meanwhile, I have used this tag for 4 objects, so this tag now does show up
in taginfo. So basically, the reason for rejection is no longer correct as
the tag has now been used and the tag is therefore in the statestats.

Since a no vote outweighs a yes vote, it seems fair to me that a no vote
may only be used if a substantiated reason is given. So not to simply vote
no because the tag does not appear in the statesticks, which is normal with
a brand new tag.... If you follow this reasoning (voting no because a new
tag should not be voted) then this means that any brand new tag should not
be approved....
