Hi @venue-map

Do you know Softbank ?

I understand there are two brands in wikidata for mobile_phone shops:

• SoftBank Telecom (Q7553832)
• SoftBank Shop (Q11315281) Are both legitimate and distinct retail chains ?

Then there are 258 nodes with just name=SoftBank in openstreetmap. Hence name-suggestion-index automatically creates an entry fot this third brand. Do you think nodes with name=SoftBank are actually part of Q7553832 ? or Q11315281 ? or a third retail network maybe ?

Hi @nuxper -san Sorry for the late reply.

The Japanese version of Wikipedia clearly states that "SoftBank Telecom has merged with SoftBank Mobile.". ソフトバンク - Wikipedia

2015年4月1日付で、ソフトバンクモバイルがソフトバンクBB、ソフトバンクテレコム（ソフトバンクテレコム販売と逆さ合併した2代目）、ワイモバイルを吸収合併。

By the way, I don't think there was a store for "SoftBank Telecom (Q7553832)" itself.

For "name = SoftBank", the Wikidata for "Q11315281" is correct. The signboard of "Softbank shop" says "Softbank", so I think that's what it says.

So I wonder if it will end up like this.

shop=mobile_phone
brand=ソフトバンクショップ
brand:en=SoftBankShop
brand:ja=ソフトバンクショップ
brand:wikidata=Q11315281
brand:wikipedia=ja:ソフトバンクショップ
name=ソフトバンク
name:en=SoftBank
name:ja=ソフトバンク
official_name=ソフトバンクショップ
official_name:en=SoftBankShop
official_name:ja=ソフトバンクショップ

PS: I wrote a reply while looking at Wikipedia and "JA:Naming_sample" again, so there may be some mistakes.

I think I did the required modifications. Is that ok with you @venue-map ?

Hi @nuxper -san.

Thank you for editing. However, it seems that the data of SoftBank Telecom (Q7553832) remained, so I merged it with SoftBank Shop (Q11315281) and made a pull request here.
