That's also important, of course, but not everything that exists is or

Do you know why circus tents are not mapped, although they exist?
Because they are not permanent or, at least, durable enough to be
considered a mappable element.
Existence is important, if (and this is is also one of OSM's good
practices) it's relevant enough to be present in the map in one,
three, six months from now.
Personally I find this view reasonable and in line with OSM principles.
I have commented on it in the community forum so that other contributors
can also give their opinion.[1]
Some simple guidelines for mappers would be welcome on the wiki page,
even if they are not strict rules. Just enough for the mapper to
understand what we mean by "notable" graffiti, in line with OSM best
practice on legality and temporary
