No, it wouldn’t make sense to tag lots of things that are not community centres as community centres. Also, your wikipedia links aren’t relevant to OSM at all.
An amenity=community_centre is usually publically funded or receives subsidies from the local municipality, and likely freely accessible, although maybe also charging money for some types of events. An amenity=events_venue is usually a commercial entity, charging money for all of its use and making profit of it.
Er - the difference between the two OSM wiki pages that you’ve just quoted? There’s a big difference between “public locations where members of a community tend to gather for group activities” and “A stand-alone facility, used to hosting a variety of events, such as formal dinners, dinner-dances, weddings or other celebrations”.
By the way, I am finding it difficult to tell whether you’re asking genuine questions here or engaging in a bit of light online trolling (the whatboutery, random quoting, links to non-OSM sites and excess smilies would suggest the latter, but hopefully it’s just a location/culture difference that’s causing me to think that).
OK, tnx, makes sense … better someone make your ‘definition’ here also on those amenity=events_venue- and amenity=community_centre-tag wiki descriptions then, to avoid confusing …
nope, because sometimes those 2 definitions are applicable for 1 building
and by the way, a ‘events venue’ is in Dutch language a evenementenhal (here is wikidata of it) , and is a whole different ‘thing’ then what is ‘described’ as a function hall on OSM wiki …
An events venue is every “Feestzaal” next to a pub. They are not owned by the community. Other event venues are buildings (e.g. castles) that one can rent for e.g. weddings.
A community center is a building made available by the community where the retired people can come together to play cards.
Another one that I tag as community center is “parochiezaal” (a building associated with the parich and where e.g. families gather after a funeral)
a “club home of the local sport clubs”(as wel as other facilities) can be both , that is why i mentioned above ; " because sometimes those 2 definitions are applicable for 1 building"
you mean when a sport club allows other people to rent their building for parties ? I would still not map it as a events_venue. The primary purpose is still club home. Of course there will be cases where a building is a club home 50% of the time and 50% of the time an event venue, but they are rare, not ?
You can always place 2 nodes within the building, or map the primary purpose on the building and the secondary as node inside.
