Everyone,

Aren't some of these "hamlets" still used as postal addresses? In that sense, they still exist. Also, in the West we have the phenomenon of old rail infrastructure, such as watering stations, that were named. A good example is Adamana near the Petrified Forest. There are still a couple of houses there. Would will still consider those "hamlets"?

or maybe keep it as a historical place name, something like place=locality and old_name="Bender's Corner"? I agree that this is something local mappers with local knowledge should decide upon

I'm inclined to delete or move it to OpenHistoricalMap.Â
i'd like to see more of us thinking in terms of moving things to OHM, but...

1) make sure they really existed at some point in time

2) when possible, come up with at least years to use in start_date and end_date
tags.
