I have a few remarks: Tomb types: - table tomb seems generally ok, although it could also be seen as a candidate for a tombstone / gravestone subtag (see below) - tomb=pillar and tomb=obelisk seem to be descriptions of the tombstone rather than the tomb? For obelisks, there is man_made=obelisk which is based on shape and can be used for any kind of obelisk. there are also already 243 man_made=column and 593 man_made=pillar in the db (but I can see how a pillar tomb could get its own specific tag nonetheless as a tomb category). If we mix tombstone shapes and tomb types I would expect we will come to situations where several tags could apply (a mausoleum with an obelisk? A vault with a pillar on top?) Not completely sure though, if the "pillar" can really be called a "tombstone" in every case. tomb=cenotaph is a bit misleading, because a cenotaph is not actually a tomb, it only looks like a tomb. Admittedly I have added it myself in 2016, but looking at it I am bit unsure whether to keep it: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Proposed_features/tombs&diff=prev&oldid=1345992 It is currently only used 14 times in the whole world. Maybe this would fit better under the historic=monument / memorial umbrella (subtag)? historic=cemetery The tag historic=cemetery already has some significant usage (446), but there are 3,5 times more landuse=cemetery and historic=* tag combinations (1576). IMHO we do not need both (for active cemeteries). FWIW, there are also 8 historic=graveyard objects. I believe the page should be amended, because it currently only discourages this tag for a necropolis, but there are many more burial places which could be or not considered cemeteries according to the definition (which is not given currently) I found this handy list in Wikipedia and have marked the unsure ones with an asterisk: * Catacomb * Churchyard (and graveyard) * Coemeterium * Columbarium Crypt * Grave field * Mass grave Memorial Park * Necropolis * Ossuary Tomb Tumulus Unmarked grave War grave https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=cemetery#combinations Cheers Martin
