Deprecate and use "events_venue" instead?

The tag amenity=events_venue is much more common, perhaps we should use that instead? --Jeisenbe (talk) 18:51, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

amenity=events_venue is for smaller events like weddings and bar mitzvahs. --Joel Amos (talk) 19:03, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
How much bigger does an events_centre compared to an events_venue? If it's really big, perhaps one should use amenity=convention_centre or amenity=exhibition_centre or leisure=stadium or amenity=theatre instead? --Jeisenbe (talk) 21:53, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
My impression of the current usage of amenity=events_venue is that it is a space that normal people can rent out to host private events, whereas amenity=events_centre is for large public events, usually commercial in nature. So it's just as much a matter of kind as it is of scale.
Per your second question, I feel that the events_centre proposal does a good job building a case, as does this question from the help forum.--Joel Amos (talk) 23:03, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
