A useful archive needs subtraction as well as addition

Keeping every captured item can make the useful ones harder to find. A note that is obsolete, unsupported or no longer meaningful may need removal rather than another tag. Reviewing what deserves to remain keeps a collection aligned with the purpose for which you actually use it.

Improve the existing note before creating another copy

Finding a second explanation of the same idea does not always require a second note. If the new source adds a clearer example or an important qualification, update the existing explanation. One maintained note is easier to trust than several overlapping versions that disagree silently.
