Thank you, they are indeed interesting examples to discuss the subject.
These were traced 6 years ago, most certainly with a survey and/or
lower quality imagery.

I am reluctant to suggest that mapping large groups of buildings as one
outline is a good idea. As I said, to me it is a last resort and should
be avoided at all costs. Otherwise we are going to get blocks of easily
mapped buildings outlined as building just because that is a lot easier

We are really discussing two different issues here.

disagrees that building is misplaced is such situations

yes, multiple addresses on the same building do occur, at least in some
regions. I am aware of German

Here is an example of what I feel should be discouraged:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/404484020
(given that this is part of a HOT project, it is likely to be
corrected/improved soon)
In this case the individual buildings are clearly visible, and there is
non-building space between them.

IMHO we should try to map every building as its own object, but you can't be
sure
IMHO we always allow and support progression from rough to more detailed.
If actual building outlines are difficult to determine then one outline
for the complex is completely OK. Typical example: medieval cities.

We will need a definition of "building". Some may consider a terrace of
houses to be a single building.
One definition I have worked with involves assessing the ability of the
"building" to remain standing and usable if the "buildings" on either

The main wiki entry on building tagging says this about building tagging:

outlines which conform accurately to the shape of the building. It is

I used to work in the telecom field. We often did lateral additions to the
building. Many times different entrances would have different addresses.
Because the buildings were different heights it is difficult to determine
where one building ended and another started. For example the CenturyLink

As Simon P says "we allow and support progression from rough to more
detailed."
To use your terrace example:
building=yes is OK, but far from perfect
building=terrace is good, but there's still room for improvement
mapping each house & tagging them building=house/office etc is much
better espe
