16 East Broad Street

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

"16 East Broad Street is a building in Columbus. It was once the tallest building in the city for many years." Well, we say many years, the infobox says six. Noth that there are any sources or anything. A directory entry, then, but one without sources. Guy (Help!) 22:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment According to this article, the building was home to the office of the National Football League, which is a solid claim to notability. I'll see if I can find anything else. Zagalejo^^^ 22:27, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunatey, I haven't been able to confirm that this was the tallest building in Columbus. It's listed as such at List of tallest buildings in Columbus, Ohio, but the only ref they use is this, which doesn't say anything. I would ask User:Raime, who made the tallest buildings page, but he appears to be on a wikibreak. Zagalejo^^^ 01:39, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Nice work, Zag! The reason is that it was where the office was located for Joseph Carr, who guided the league from small-town to big-city status during his 1921 to 1939.  NFL Headquarters is notable enough, even if nothing else is found. Mandsford (talk) 23:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even without the NHL offices being there, historical buildings are usually inherently notable and can be retained as stubs until more information can be found. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 00:05, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep; being the tallest building in a city is notable. Especially since it considered the "first high-rise in the city" (according to List of tallest buildings in Columbus, Ohio), this building is notable and should not be deleted.  Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 02:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * However, those two facts aren't supported by the refs in List of tallest buildings in Columbus, Ohio. Zagalejo^^^ 03:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nomination. Edison (talk) 04:54, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, apparently, this is a historical building. Cheers. Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab
 * Keep It is a notable historical building.Huang7776 (talk) 03:30, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The article makes multiple claims of notability as tallest in city and site of NFL offices, backed by reliable and verifiable sources to satisfy the Notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 03:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to keep the article simply because of the NFL connection, but I'd still like to see some real evidence that this was the tallest building in Columbus. Zagalejo^^^ 04:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This article has held a precious title, it has a main paragraph, it has a miscalanious section, it has references and external links, it has a stub message, and it has category links. I am curious what else it needs? Houstontowers (talk) 14:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
