This key is using the lifecycle prefix razed:*=* for tagging aerialway=* that have been demolished, without any traces left.

OSM is for features existing on the ground. This tag, however, is useful for preventing other mappers from inadvertently remapping demolished features that are still visible in some types of aerial/satellite imagery currently available in editors or other sources that can be used for mapping.

It must not be used for aerialway=* gone and unlikely to be mapped by accident. Such objects should not be mapped and deleted if mapped. OpenStreetMap is mapping current state of the world, not its past.

Projects for mapping nonexisting objects

For mapping aerialway=* that were demolished a long time ago and for archiving demolished aerialway=*, please see and use OpenHistoricalMap instead.
