Ideally it would be adaptable to any point data imports that need similar cleanup.
I hope we all agree that ideally, such a "cleanup" should happen as part of the input, i.e. not "dump shit onto OSM, hope for people to do cleanup later" but instead "have people cleanup shit, then add results to OSM".
In the case of GNIS this seems to come too late so your approach is the best thing to do; but once your quality improvement script exists, it must not serve as an excuse to wantonly importing data just because "it can be fixed later".
It is ok for a human mapper to add things to the best of their knowledge and then have other mappers improve it where necessary; but it is not ok for an automated import to do that.
