That's overly judgemental and too hasty. It's a sign of an import done not really well, which could well be from before our current rules existed. So it's appropriate to contact who added it, and either with their blessing or if they don't answer purge the goofy tags. If the basic polygon and OSM tags are sensible, it's unreasonable to delete them based on ancient history tag crud.
