For now I 1) notified people who used added this tag more than once (currently mapped man_made=drinking_fountain are counted)
See notification list at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:man_made%3Ddrinking_fountain#Deprecation 2) added section "Problems" at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Ddrinking_fountain#Problems If noone will protest I will also mark it as deprecated and add request to consider using other less problematic tags. If someone will protest I will likely make a deprecation proposal (or leave it in limbo state if I will have no time for that).
