Hello,
I agree that the name of the poi is not the name of the entrance and all those name should be deleted. also splitting poi and entrance is a must.
to link entrance and poi, it seems it only exist 4 schemas : - russian roulettte based on geographical proximity - indoor maping (corridor, indoor area, ...) linking both objects - entrance=shop/amenity/... - relation type=provides_feature with role entrance and target
Regards, Marc

Recently I have noticed a few cases when entrances have a name, which matches the name of the place they are associated with. I do not think this is correct practice, and wanted to confirm with the community here.
Example 1: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9283595316 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9283595316
This is a Migros parking garage entrance, and the name is just "Migros Goldau". But that is not the name of the parking garage, that is the name of the supermarket. I could understand perhaps "Migros Goldau Parking" as the name, and I otherwise like to see some way of indicating "this garage is for this POI" but name field is not the way, is that correct? I plan to delete this name.
Example 2: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4449332009#map=19/47.052459/8.303734 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4449332009#map=19/47.052459/8.303734
The Coop City may not be there anymore, but the Coop is in a nearby building. SO this again is an entrance with the name of the POI.

This seems to mash a few things together: it is an amenity, but also an entrance, and has a description indicating what the specific building is, and the name is generalized to the whole university. If it were to only be left as an entrance node, and the Luzern University School of Music was split into a new POI for a music school or university building, I am wondering if it is indeed correct to have it as an unnamed entrance but with the address staying on the entrance node.
Example 4: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9821261758 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9821261758
This is a specific type of entrance, emergency room/emergency ward. However, the name indicates it is the main entrance, which is different from emergency (I believe the actual emergency entrance is on north side of this building). It seems overall this is an entrance, correctly, and including a name might be actually merited here "Eingang Notfall" but it simply has the wrong name. Does that sound correct?
Example 5: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/506077428#map=19/47.047219/8.307857 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/506077428#map=19/47.047219/8.307857
This one appears to be an entrance merged with the POI restaurant itself, and it is a node on the line. Attempts to make sure the entrance to the restaurant is very clear, but I assume these should be separated and the entrance unnamed.
Example 6: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11190670860 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11190670860
This one is an entrance, with the street address (which seems fine), but has the POI name. The POI also exists separately. I actually am the one who created this entrance node and named it this way, though I forgot about doing so!
I deleted a few others nearby where the entrance, a door for people on foot, had the exact name of the cafe and the exact name of the post office.
I appreciate any thoughts and commentary on the practice of naming with entrances in general, as I would like to look out for it going forward, but also am very interested in recommended ways to ensure an entrance is able to be associated with a POI.
