[OSM-talk-be] How to request arbitration?

[Marc Gemis]

Did you contact the owner of the airfield to find out how they name it
? Did you find a sign along the street pointing to the airfield with a
name ? Is there a name sign at the entrance ? Is there an official
document  from a government which mentions a name ?

If all of those questions return false, i.e. no name, then the
airfield has no name. Maybe there are a few other places where we can
look for the item of items, but making them up from ones armchair is
certainly not one of them.

No everybody gives their house, private tennis court, driveway or
airfield a name. So noname=yes might be the only thing we can do. We
should not make up names as "Airfield of Family Anderson", "Airfield
near road N111" or whatever.
