Take a look at https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/BiJ please (probably there are much more variants that people use than the ones from this query) All these objects have some kind of "no housenumber" abbreviation at addr:housenumber (which is exactly the same problem of using name="No name"). The addresses here (in real life) all always explicit in saying that the place don't have a housenumber. We could simply remove all these values, but people will reinsert them and we will create doubt in our data (if the place doesn't really have a housenumber or if it's only missing in the data). If we choose to create/define some standardized way to say that a place doesn't really have a housenumber (in the same way we already do with noname), we could start fixing all these wrong addr:housenumber, say to people "please, use this to represent a place without a housenumber", do some kind of QA, etc. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
