I'm not keen on bulk automated closing everything called Thomas Cook because the world is more complicated than it first seems to be. I favour visual confirmation.
I think too much effort goes into these big changes. The real problem with business directory mapping on OSM is that people like doing the first time mapping of shops on a high street but no one likes maintaining them. The number of shops that are wrong because of churn or small businesses, or individual closures of chain shops is probably orders of magnitude more than the ones that get lots of publicity.
I doubt that many people are going to get misled by a Thomas Cook or Maplins store that remains mapped, but many may be misled by the loss of a specialist store that didn't make the national press.
