On the list edit contributions, a new kind of records started showing up.
Godkendt - Findes ikke
means
Approved - Does not exist
I also have one from Feb 19th (not shown on the image).
These ghost entries relate to deleted places since there is no business name mentioned. This is very new (< a week old). Earlier we could only mark businesses as permanently closed - now it seems we can actually delete them.
I’m just wondering if this is intentional. It is not really useful for us to know that we successfully delete something - without letting us know what we deleted. Or is this an indication of a more substantial change where Local Guides now will be able to actually remove places compared to before where we could “only” mark paces as Permanently closed.
Cheers

Ассаламу Алейкум! Здравствуйте!
Morten,
Это не ответ на Ваш вопрос но все же напишу:
У Меня на Добавленные Места и Дороги показывают: “Не Рассмотрении”, “Одобрено” и “Отклонено”.
А на Добавление Блюда или Товаров: “Добавлено” и “На Рассмотрении”, возможно для Блюда и Товаров, вместо “Отклонено” решили написать “Не Существует”
Спасибо
Hi @Muhammad-Tolqin
Thanks for your comment.
The automatic translation is not helpful. I don’t get your point.
Could you rephrase and use shorter complete sentences?
Cheers
I know this kind of behavior from databases in general. The places on Maps are of course entries in a database. And the edits local guides make are also entries in another database (more than 1 most likely). One of the things stored on those edit database entries is the POI that the edit refers to.
When the suggested edit is ‘does not exist’, then the POI, to my knowledge, is deleted from the POI database. But that does not necessarily mean that the edit is also deleted from the edits database - it could be kept there, but would then have an empty field where the connection to the POI used to be stored.
The effect would then be what you see: an edit without POI.
