My suggestion is that we can POI like drugstores, fastfood but we will not put
the name like McDonalds or Jollibee or Mercury Drugstore??or resort? Is it that

establishments with names
Comments? thanks.

Noel, what's wrong with omitting the names from the drugstores and fastfood

Ahmed, there's nothing wrong with adding commercial POIs in a
general-purpose map even if its significance is not on a national-level.
If you think that this will impact on possible advertising revenues from OSM
end-users, I don't think that the effect is significant.
The valid point that you've
un into.

I think this an issue but lets look at how the rest of OSM does it and
go from there, I see both sides of the coin and while its a wiki and
anyone can add and remove stuff, it should also have set guidelines,
there's a reason wikipedia doesn't list every link to every website
