are you sure that _all_ of them changed their signage and continue to operate? We have had a similar issue of a drug store chain in Germany (Schlecker) which went bankrupt in 2012 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlecker ) and some mappers wanted to close all of their shops in OSM as well. Only after some time and discussion it became clear, that there were lots of exceptions (e.g. the shops outside of Germany, and some XL-shops inside Germany as well), so an automated edit would have introduced a lot of errors. The conclusion was to better have an outdated information (which can be more easily recognized from remote to be outdated) then an automatically created apparently correct information which had never been checked by someone with local knowledge and might therefor be wrong, but no more automatically detectable. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
