[Talk-ca] Low quality unresolvable notes

[Daniel Begin]

I understand (and agree) from this thread that...
We only keep notes that can be used to fix something later and drop the rest.

It is the rule I will apply from now on.

Subject: [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.
