Company / organisation names in addresses #41

Closed giacecco closed 9 years ago

See for example postcode NW1 2DB, that, at the moment of writing, is populated by - unfortunately - several duplicates of the British Library's address.

I realise that occasionally organisation names are inevitably part of the address, as when one company names its own building something like "[company name] House", but - as a matter of principle - do you think that company names should be considered part of the address or not? How did other addresses list and products managed this matter in the past?

@murraydata what do you think?

Checked this with @murraydata. The three British Library addresses are actually valid! We have three as they correspond to three organisations registered to Companies House, each of which has a valid SAO described by using the name of the organisation itself. FYI @peterkwells.

In addition to the above, the company name being or not part of an address and in which cases will also be re-discussed as part of this task in the roadmap.
