John, much consensus is achieved in wiki Discussion(s), simply click the 
Discussion tab, https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Talk:Canada_Building_Import and 
notice that there are four threads/sections under Discussion there already.

If some "number of people" were involved in the original, they are perfectly 
welcome to join there.

I'm not saying "don't do this in talk-ca" I am saying "there are often 
more-appropriate (vs. less-appropriate) places to have a discussion to achieve 
consensus."  Sometimes, it makes sense to have an off-list email conversation 
in a one-on-one or one-on-many fashion.  Thanks.
