List of tallest buildings in the City of Manila → List of tallest buildings in Manila – Move back to its original location. "City of Manila' is wholly redundant since the city is already the primary topic for Manila. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 13:02, 5 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Its original location (List of tallest buildings in Manila) is already the redirect of the list for the Manila metropolitan area (List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila), similar to List of tallest buildings and structures in Paris is the redirect of the List of tallest buildings and structures in the Paris region and List of tallest buildings in New York → List of tallest buildings in Upstate New York. A necessary precision due to Manila (disambiguation) where Manila could refer to the entire metropolitan area or just "the downtown city". In general usage and especially in economic terms, Manila refers to the metropolitan area hence the need to make that distinction. --RioHondo (talk) 15:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You are ignoring the fact that the Manila article is about the city. Redirect List of tallest buildings in Manila to List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila, as you are very insistent on doing despite there being no consensus for it, and you confuse our readers. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 16:05, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * And redirect List of tallest buildings and structures in Paris to "List of tallest buildings and structures in the Paris region" despite there being no consensus for it either? In both cases, best practice was followed, with Paris referring to the Paris region (Île-de-France (region)) and Manila to Metro Manila (region) as how majority of readers would treat them. And Manila, just like Paris, has its tallest buildings outside its city limits but still within its region, e.g. La Defense, hence the redirect. The title "List of tallest buildings in the City of Manila" was done out of natural disambiguation per WP:PRECISE. --RioHondo (talk) 17:00, 5 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment – why does the city need its own list? They're all covered, and city listed, in the metro article.  Merge.  Dicklyon (talk) 23:30, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I am indifferent to that. This still should have been discussed first. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 03:05, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree on the merge. I had serious doubts about the creation of these sublists anyway which to me looks nothing but an exercise in political or regionalistic ego. I support the deletion or merger of the following lists in Metro Manila suburbs as well: List of tallest buildings in Makati, Mandaluyong, Muntinlupa, Pasig, Quezon City and Taguig, all of which are already covered by the Metro article. However, if the consensus is to keep all these, I maintain that the city article title should remain the same.--RioHondo (talk) 06:39, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge as per RioHondo above. If you make it a sortable table, there is no need for separate articles because you can simply sort it by city to get the same info. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 20:43, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The buildings are already listed in a sortable table for the Metro article, with a separate column for City. Cheers! --RioHondo (talk) 07:26, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Good, then this article is really redundant. Let's just redirect it! -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * What? There should be a single article titled List of tallest buildings in Manila. We don't need this level of specificity. --BDD (talk) 16:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Move to List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila as Manila and Metro Manila are two entirely different jurisdictions. The Mayor of Paris is the chief executive of the metro area, while the Mayor of Manila is the chief executive of city, so the Paris comparison is illogical. – H T  D  18:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Regardless, this article is still redundant as it's already covered in the Metro Manila article along with those other Metro Manila cities. RioHondo (talk) 18:29, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Since there's already a mother article this article should redirect to the appropriately-named metro article.– H T  D  18:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Merge
WTF there are also other lists on other cities. They have to be merged with the Metro Manila list, with a height limit, somewhere on the 125 m level. I was tempted to redirect it wholesale but there was some useful info such as the history of the tallest buildings and they can added to the metro area-centric list. – H T  D  13:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support merge to List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 19:52, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Support merger with List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila. (I almost forgot about this.) Will integrate the city's timeline of tallest buildings into the metrowide article. --RioHondo (talk) 22:54, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. --RioHondo (talk) 23:27, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
