No, In my opinion is not a good idea to delete an existing thing in OSM. History is also part of OSM. Why do we have to respect the historic thing in a node or way not deleting them if then we then delete the whole thing. Lifecycle prefix can achieve these items inside OSM. Also it is not a good idea to expulse the information to other third or related projects...that one day can be gone. Because if the info is in OSM one day other related project can recover the map with that data (e.g. parking map). If the information is in other related project, when the project dies (as Mapzen for example) , information dies too. If the info disturb one good idea would be change osm-carto, the render, but no the database as it is not a good idea in other situations. We don't map for the render.
