22 Marsh Wall

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability. Just another tall residential building in the Docklands with no significant contribution to the city or architecture. Not relevant as work of a prominent architect. Karljoos (talk) 00:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment If this is non-notable you might want to consider listing the bulk of this category for deletion. RMHED   00:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this skyscraper. Joe Chill (talk) 00:23, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: added to http://london.wikia.com/wiki/22_Marsh_Wall. Ikip (talk) 00:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep London is so goddamn flat that any skyscraper is notable. Still better hunt down some refs. Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Cas? How can you say that? It's not flat at all, it has 1000s (well quite a few) of skyscrapers. Giano (talk) 09:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. I see no reason to delete this. There's a reference to it, possibly a section on it, on p. 185 of London High by Herbert Wright, but google books won't let me see that page. Possibly someone else will be able to see it, because editors in different countries have variable access. See here. SlimVirgin  talk| contribs 01:53, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried the link but can't access that page either, its probably a one-page summary based on book format. Apparently, it is "an excellent investment proposition.". But  the list of tallest buildings and structures in London lists this at #16, and most all of the top 40 have their own articles (really!).  Some more cites would be nice.--Milowent (talk) 04:57, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep its height gives it notability as one of the tallest buildings in the city & even more so that London is a landscape still remarkably (and thankfully) devoid of skyscrapers save for two very small clusters - one in EC1 and one on the Isle of Dogs.  Nancy  talk  06:50, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's notable and quite a nice building too. I've seen it. Could do with some references though. Giano (talk) 09:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Centre Point is a listed building and has been part of the skyline of London for over 40 years, Norman Foster's 8 Canada Square (aka HSBC Building) is the second tallest building in the UK and 30 St Mary Axe has changed the skyline of the City. I can see the notability and merit of these two buildings. On the other hand One Park Place, 22 Marsh Wall and Pan Peninsula are all buildings with no architectural relevance, not designed by a renowned architect, and aren't even finished(!!). Why should they have an article? Just because they're tall?--Karljoos (talk) 09:52, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I've added a couple of sources which state that it is one of Europe's tallest residential buildings (notability), and that it has already won two awards in 2007 (more notability). I think the basic threshold for notability is met, and it only now needs expanding, which is not an issue for AfD. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 10:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * How interesting The Landmark won a prize in 2007, when the building didn't exist (according to the article). The world of prizes and awards is always interesting. Please visit List of tallest buildings in Europe--Karljoos (talk) 10:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Based on improvements to article since my last comment, I favor keeping.--Milowent (talk) 11:39, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - notability is assured by being in top 20 tallest buildings in London, and furthermore it's won a couple of prestigious awards. Tris2000 (talk) 15:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per above.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) (talk) 14:40, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
