In this case that's actually unfortunate.

I'm not sure that I ever would "draw a paper street".  I don't see the
point of it (*).

But if you're asking how to map a closed way in OSM, and designate
that it is not an area (when using a tag which can be used for both
areas and non-areas and defaults to area=yes), that would be area=no.

(*) Maybe for "a confusing situation where a street appeared on Google
Maps, but not on OSM", I might draw the street and not put any tags on
it except maybe "note=appears in Google Maps but doesn't actually
exist".  Though even then, probably not, because someone might claim
that infringes on the Google Maps TOS.
