Recurring bot edit proposal: remove diet:healthy=yes tags [rejected]

I propose to autoremove diet:healthy=yes in USA as it is

  • review
  • something that even McDonalds claims
  • subjective
  • not verifiable (nutrition science is not settled, to say it mildly)

Yes, it is relatively rare and can be fixed manually but doing it manually brings no significant benefits over doing other QA. And at least I have enough QA ideas to last for several lifetimes. With User:Mateusz Konieczny/bad vertex - OpenStreetMap Wiki being latest published report.

Surely it can be removed everywhere?

yes, but global community is far less bot-happy so I am proposing first for USA and Poland, and later I will propose it globally

this way I can point to a success story if everything went 100% fine, and nearly everything (code, documentation) can be reused at minimal extra cost anyway

and sometimes global bot edits like this get rejected (despite making sense) and getting accepted in more local regions

also, I feel I run out of quota for global forum posting for now, and I will wait a bit (and have some more important ones to run first)

Everyone knows there’s no healthy food in the US… /s

I would not recommend removing this. It’s a little subjective but not really worse than cuisine if you think about it.

AFAIK we have ATYL in OSM, so you would need good reasons to remove someone else work from OSM. I see this different eg. form removing some import-meta data, where no one put actually effort in.

Overall I think it’s a helpful thing to know whether the restaurant eg. serves just processed food or “natural” food. I agree with you, that the diet:healthy is maybe not the best key. But instead of deleting it, I would think it’s better to reach out to the mappers, who used it and find a better, less subjective key.

OK, this one is clearly rejected

I opened add ability to skip specific taginfo suggestions, or disable freeform suggestion in diet field to stop iD from suggesting `diet:healthy=yes` · Issue #2604 · openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema · GitHub for now instead
