Yeah, the tagging names are sometimes confusing, I've definitely made mistakes where I tagged something based on what the word means instead of what the tag means. You probably already know, but just in case, the wiki is the best place to look this stuff up, e.g.: building=*

For future reference: when there's more than two units, it's a building=terrace (went ahead and changed these buildings, since they all have at least 3 driveways).

This reverts the following changesets:

changeset/139892730
changeset/139893300
changeset/139893375
changeset/139893440

Minor point for future reference: it's preferred to use things like the "razed" prefix when removing things still in the imagery, so others don't accidentally add it back.

razed:*=*

Ah yep, here it is: https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/waterloo-region-record-s-physical-office-in-kitchener-to-close-this-spring/article_537bcfb8-8f42-5e14-b5a4-61826f14fec2.html

Pretty sure The Record is still here, see: https://secure.therecord.com/subscribe/

I strongly suggest reading the links I provided. The OSM website is not intended for users, it's intended for editors. OSM is not a map, it's a database of map data, which different applications can choose to render as they see fit. For example, here is a map that uses German OSM tags when rendering: https://openstreetmap.de/karte/

Again, I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the wiki and understanding why this large, rather old project does things a particular way before deciding you know best.
osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer
osm.wiki/Renderer

See also:
osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions#Names_are_not_for_descriptions
name=*#Additional_data
osm.wiki/Category:Tagging_guidelines_by_continent
osm.wiki/Category:Region_specific_tag

Even if you believe European mapping guidelines apply here (they do not), it is never correct to put descriptions as names.
