[OSM-talk] Was the deletion of Null Island reasonable?

[Imre Samu]

>  Should Null Island be kept? Please, let everyone

The other question:
- "End users" are generally not aware of the "OpenStreetMap internal data
rules"
-  AND we can expect - some of them typing "Null Island" to the (osm)
search field.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=null%20island
What are the expected results?
