291 Broadway

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable building. No in-depth coverage to show it passes WP:GNG. It exists. It had some tenants.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:37, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The NYTimes article is substantially about it, and is in-depth coverage.  It is a 19-story building built in 1911;  there were obviously much taller buildings by then but this is still major at the time, i think.  There's no indication in the article that it is a NYC landmark or has other designation, but the phos suggests to me that it is significant.  Why has this article just been created though, I wonder. -- do  ncr  am  15:11, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - In-depth coverage with prime example of such from doncram indicating passing WP:GNG.--Oakshade (talk) 01:10, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Just to note that I've seen this, but I am at work at the moment. I'll comment when I'm home and have access to my references. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:40, 14 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep: Given the full New York Times article, and the fact that it is still in the American Institute of Architects Guide to New York City, means it meets notability. Softlavender (talk) 02:33, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * So, everything about this building is fairly equivocal. It's not a landmarked building, but it's across the street from the African Burial Ground and the Commons Historic District, and it's in an area that has a fair number of old but not landmarked buildings.  It's listed in the AIA Guide to NYC, but the book doesn't have all that much to say about it; still I found it interesting enough visually to take the picture of it that's in the article.  The architects aren't stars by any means, but they did a number of notable buildings in the city, and they have an article here. And then there's the NYT article. I think that if there wasn't that, the building would be borderline and I'd !vote "delete", with the NYT article, it inches over the notability line, and I therefore !vote:
