Deleted Michelin and Pirelli

Both of these brands do not have physical locations. Thus, I am wondering if it even makes sense to have them in NSI. Yes they are brands, but the point of NSI is to have common brand names for Places. Then POIs in OSM will have matching common names if they are the same company stores. Am I thinking about this correctly?

You are correct - we really only want to have brands with physical locations that should be mapped in OSM.

However I checked the Overpass queries on this page:
https://nsi.guide/index.html?t=brands&k=shop&v=tyres

...and I can see that for both these brands there are a lot of places in OpenStreetMap mapped like shop=tyres+name=Michelin or name=Pirelli

So maybe you're mistaken, or maybe these shops really are all mapped wrongly - I do not know.

But what it means is that even if we do delete these entries, our script that loads names from the OSM data will just put them back, because as far as the script is concerned they seem to be real names of tyre shops.

I looked at the objects that have website and most of them are tagged incorrectly. These stores only sell Michelin and Pirelli tyres. So they should have the name of the stores.
And I also found a store in Australia called Michelin, so maybe for some stores the tags name=Michelin + brand=Michelin are correct.
