177 Franklin Street

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An unremarkable building. It is old, like thousands of other in NYC. The sources are all minor massing mentions or relatively recent routine reports of change of ownership. Nothing approaching significant in-depth coverage required by WP:NBUILD & WP:GNG. MB 02:51, 10 November 2020 (UTC) MB 02:51, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a contributing building to the Tribeca West Historic District and is substantially covered in the LPC report, which by itself is enough for notability. This is a well-written, well-sourced short article. I don't see how readers would benefit by depriving them of this information. Station1 (talk) 09:15, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. I created the page, so obviously my vote is to Keep. To echo the previous comment by, this building received substantial coverage in the LPC report, unlike many other non-contributing, less notable buildings in the same district. It also is one of very few buildings in NYC that still features the markings of the Lindsay, Graff & Megquier foundry on the facade cast-iron elements. This is unusual on its own, as there are only 20 buildings in NYC known to still have the markings from this particular foundry (https://www.waltergrutchfield.net/lindsay.htm). Happy to discuss further and make edits if needed. macgirl (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment, question, any heritage listings? Coolabahapple (talk) 01:18, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not quite sure what you mean by heritage listing, but it is a part of the Tribeca West Historic District officially designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, a government agency. Station1 (talk) 08:33, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per 's argument. Coverage seems sufficiently substantial. Dralwik&#124;Have a Chat 20:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
