Removing information from OpenStreetMap because it is present in external data (which is referenced by OSM) is not ok. We are not wikimedia or wikidata. We do not control what they decide. These objects could be removed anytime, or could be modified anytime in a way that is inconsistent with OSM data. There are also questions about the copyright situation of content in wikidata. We should not impose the need to use wikidata in order to make sense of OSM. I am not opposing referencing wikidata in general of course, rather I am doing it a lot myself, even creating wikidata items from time to time, but this does not mean we should _move_ information from OSM to wikidata. E.g. not remove the "architect" tag just because someone put an architect:wikidata=Q123 tag. Cheers, Martin
