[Talk-GB] How to mark something as closed

[Warin]

a) If you delete it from the data base ... then it is possible for 
someone else to reenter it into the data base ...
b) do something else... yes! leave it in  the data base so if someone 
else comes along and wants to enter something there .. they can see what 
has been there in the past.

dissused is one tag, as is abandoned 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:abandoned:

I have used obsolete: to mark something that is no longer there - 
avoiding the reenter problem.
