I am not sure is it referring to Wiki in general or one of my edits (and yes, some of my edits on Wiki/OSM make them worse - it is not really possible to completely avoid mistakes). >> I see the point in cases of ones where there are no traces >> but road geometry makes 100% clear that railway was there >> and probably would not delete them. >> >> I see point in cases where track of former railway is marked/ >> memorialized/etc and that info is mentioned on OSM object. >> >> But for cases where new road is matching geometry but shape >> is not recognizable at all as track of former railroad, and >> historic maps are needed to recognize it? >> > > > there aren't only written/drawn sources by the way.

Mapping housenumbers, street names, peak names based on an a trustworthy oral source is perfectly fine. But remembering about object is not changing whatever it is mappable. Lets say that there was a castle and was replaced by a sport pitch, and place looks like this nowadays (a theoretical example): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Tehelne_pole-pitch_and_stand.JPG Castle is remembered. Is such castle mappable? In my opinion would not be as there are no identifiable traces (possibility of archeological excavations are not really changing this). >> Deletion should happen, OSM is not for objects that are gone. >> > > > we were discussing objects which left traces.

Or does is mean "left not traces whatsoever"? > Obviously, we can map railway that are not operational and left clear traces. We are generally OK with mapping things where some traces remained. It is accepted that thing totally and completely gone are not mappable. "left not traces whatsoever" seems to step - if you look sufficiently carefully many things left some sort of traces (see historical ocean cases where I thing everyone agrees to be not mappable in OSM - and there are clear traces of them!). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Weiche_der_ehemaligen_Bahnstrecke_Herzberg%E2%80%93Siebertal.jpg https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Live_Oak_Perry_and_Gulf_Railroad_overgrown_abandoned_tracks.JPG are clearly mappable But mapping railway in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Daewoo-FSO_Polonez_Atu_Plus_on_Zygmunta_Krasi%C5%84skiego_avenue_in_Krak%C3%B3w_(1).jpg would be too far for me and I would delete it as a historic mapping if mapped (example from my city so I know that former railway there is not identifiable without access to old maps). >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Interior_Seaway >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_Ocean >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundance_Sea >> and other >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Historical_oceans >> also left traces and are not mappable in OSM >> > > > I agree that these are not very compatible with OSM, similar to current > geological features, and even current oceans aren't very well represented in > OSM.

I agree that it is a bit mixed with poor mappability as a large scale geological feature. I think that mapping former moat/canal in my city would be a better example - it is 100% gone (replaced by a road) - some traces remained (road follows course of a former moat) - it is not recognizable as a former canal based on a current state - though archeological/geological works would allow to prove that it was there - well documented as a former canal in historic sources Is this former, gone, not recognizable canal that left some traces still mappable in OSM? In my opinion - clearly not, so I would go that with "recognizable traces" threshold. For reference: this bridge was constructed as a bridge over a canal. Now it is a bridge over a road. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiadukt_kolejowy_w_Krakowie_Grzeg%C3%B3rzkach#/media/Plik:Wiadukt_Kolejowy_w_Grzeg%C3%B3rzkach.jpg location in OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0584&mlon=19.9477#map=15/50.0584/19.9477 Wikipedia article in Polish about that waterway: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stara_Wis%C5%82a_(Krak%C3%B3w)
