[Talk-ca] Low quality unresolvable notes

I've been catching up on local notes, and have come across a few I'm not 
sure how to resolve. There are a number which are equivalent to "There 
is a <some name of shop> somewhere in this block." While probably 
correct, they're not very useful.

The notes aren't bug reports, the original intent of 
notes/OpenStreetBugs. They're not precise enough to resolve, so 
basically all the information they contain is that there are shops here 
which could be added if a site survey was done. A site survey would be 
nice, but there's plenty of areas where that is so - if someone opened 
up notes everywhere they were needed in the area, they'd make other 
notes less valuable and probably end up closed.

I'm leaning towards closing them as not reporting a bug nor providing 
specific enough information to add something to the map, but wanted to 
get the thoughts of others.

I might also bring this up at our next local meetup, see what other 
locals think.
