Should the "Extent of Water level during Sandy" in Greenpoint be Removed

Hi All,

I have been doing a lot of mapping in Astoria, Long Island City, and Greenpoint in New York City. I've noticed that Greenpoint has a large area denoting "Extent of Water level during Sandy". I've read a lot of information that states that historical information (what was here before) should not be in OSM. Following that, should the area be removed?
