why not? What comes next, deleting memorials ("we only want monuments, as they
are landmarks, we are not the open plaques directory and those small memorial
plates are nothing particularly interesting or useful for our map consumers")?
Deletion of trees ("we are not a tree directory, go to your city council if you
are interested in trees, they have a tree cadastre")? How can we become the
biggest map if we refuse data our competitors eagerly take?
I completely agree that adding online businesses at fake locations is spam, but
your relevance criteria seem too tight. I also agree that in case there's only
a letter box but nobody actually doing business/work this is an edge case and
maybe better not mapped in osm (regardless the question whether this geographic
info or not), but as soon as they do operate from a given place this should be
sufficient to _allow_ that they are mapped (if the mappers actually enter them
is also another question).

+1, yes, but this has nothing to do with the question (you can always find your
way without OSM).
Cheers,
