Not any happier if it gets deleted after discussion either. I brought
my data (I started mapping railways in 2004) to OSM because I thought
that the community was friendly to abandoned railways. Really,
decidedly unhappy if people are deleting data older than OSM.

Then tag it as railway=dismantled. You won't find me defending
incorrect tagging of anything.

But you don't hear me being annoyed or tired by finding data that I
dislike, do you? Perhaps we could all be less annoyed and tired by
what other people map?
