But, my number one rule is that if there is a individual or group that want to maintain a specific set of data in OSM (timezones, ancient rail roads, protected zones in the ocean, etc), we should give them as much latitude as possible to do it.
I agree with this in general - I freely armchair delete tiger:reviewed=no ways that are wrong, but not ways that have been reviewed but don't match imagery.
I have deleted some local railway=abandoned ways that were long since buried by buildings or the entire landscape bulldozed down, but found that they 'grew back'. So my compromise is to set them as railway=dismantled. Thus they are a true OSM historical feature.
I think most people agree however that OSM cannot realistically support an unlimited set of historical items in the current database - they would make editing current physical items very confusing.
