[Talk-us] dubious church node

[Ian Dees]

The history of the node shows that I created it 8 years ago:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/356845407/history

The gnis tags indicate that it probably came in from my (somewhat
misguided) GNIS import back then. If there's no recent information to
corroborate the node then feel free to delete it.
