For example a demolished building .. may have a new building built on
the same spot .. with the same outline.
Leave the node data in OSM, change the tag building=yes to
building=demolished (may not be rendered nor official OSM tagging)
add a note as to who/why ..
and then if rebuilt change the tag back to building=yes... with a
source tag please.
If the site has a different shaped building then the nodes will have
to be changed, or the site gets used for something else .. then
change it. But untill then leave the old data there.
This is a bad idea. Maybe [note=this building is demolished] to protect
against mapping from outdated aerial images may be OK.

But expecting data consumers displaying buildings to filter out
building=demolished, building=razed, building=proposed etc etc is a
really bad idea.
Or you use demolished:building=yes as I said an hour ago.

This is clearer than a note IMO,
allows to retain all tags of the demolished building for reference and
caters for potential data consumers interested in demolished buildings.


I like it Ruben. demolished: it is.

Not just for use on buildings, but bridges, poles .. any structure that could 
be rebuilt to the same dimensions, especially any with foundations that could 
be reused.
