Talk:Vodafonturm

From VfD:


 * I'm not sure about this one. Is there any particular reason why this radio tower is in any way significant?  (posted by: Robert Merkel 14:52, 2004 Jul 27)


 * Comment: To begin with, its correct name is "Vodafone-Turm". That's where it should be moved, if there's concensus to keep. The only significant details about this communication tower might be that (1) it is built in form of a tripod (conventional ones have a simple cylindrical base) and (2) it was raised within a few days... --Palapala 16:59, 2004 Jul 27 (UTC)


 * The tower has an unconventional design and should so be placed in the Wikipedia! (posted by: 80.185.98.130 16:35, 2004 Jul 27)


 * Thank you, O Talking Hosiery. There's nothing notable about this tower that I can ascertain.  The only notable towers that come to mind are Mount Sutro in San Francisco, the NHK tower in Tokyo and that 1200' monster out in South Dakota.  Delete. - Lucky 6.9 16:49, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Keep. But redirect to its correct name ofc. bbx 17:27, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's a tower.  "How is this tower unlike all others?"  Well, it's a tower.  I agree that it's a marginal case.  Some towers are quite notable, shadow their communities, are celebrated, etc., but, if such is the case here, it's not clear from the article.  A photo of said tower might help explain its unusual structure. Geogre 18:53, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * comment: see http://www.structurae.net/en/photos/index.cfm?JS=18340
 * this is marginally technically notable, mainly due to the short construction period. It would probably feature in any potted history of German broadcasting towers. On the other hand there doesn't seem to be a corresponding article in the German Wikipedia. Tentative keep. Ianb 21:32, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. We have articles on less important things. Gzornenplatz 23:58, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep ("...not paper..."). We have a lot of other articles on tall structures, especially in and near Germany, probably because someone active in the German Wikipedia has a fascination with them. Unless we wish to do something systematic about them, this should be kept like the others. -- Jmabel 01:22, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. [Insert usual digression about trying to avoid systematic bias on borderline cases such as this]. Pcb21| Pete 23:48, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is an interesting design. Carter 02:49, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)
