I need some help @openstreetmap.
What do I do, if a business has closed down, and then a new business has taken over the same place?
Do I mark the previous business as “does not exist” and add the new one, or do I edit the existing one?

@simon @danish @openstreetmap
But only when it is the same object. If it was a POI marked on the map as a node, then it is better to delete the old node and create a new one.
Otherwise we will get something like this: https://osm.org/node/2/history
@foxy @danish @openstreetmap you need to differentiate between reusing existing nodes for other purposes (as in your example), which irl works against preserving history, and using an existing element for a new or different facility in the same place (there is some grey area there obviously).
