You are forgetting about the time...

I am personally suffering because my phone number has beed assigned
to a company repairing automatic doors 8 (!) years ago.
They left stickers with their number in each door they ever touched.
(Doors often need service early in the morning... argh)

A phone number in OSM will also remain after it's validity because
of the lack of a process to check them regularily.

And between a correct listing in a yellow pages dictionary and
a correct listing in OSM is one sometimes unreliable device between
keyboard and chair.

I support the idea to store links to the wiki yellow pages.
