[OSM-talk] Odd mapping in Atar Mauritania

[Andrew Buck]

If it is an untagged way that covers the whole block of buildings I
would say just delete it.  It is not accurate data anyway, so not really
worth keeping.  I know we try very hard to clean up data from newbies,
but this I think is beyond the point where it makes sense to.
