Zero in-depth refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources. Was sent to draft in hopes of improvement, but returned to mainspace without any. Was sent to AfD where it went through a soft delete. This is pretty much the same article recreated. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:54, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and previous AfD outcome. Jfire (talk) 16:08, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of tallest buildings in Doha, Qatar. Or "merge" some small amount of info.  Note The 2 Palm Towers are #6 and #7 Al Mana Tower is #5 tallest in Qatar.  For these and other tall building AFDs, enforce redirecting and merging to existing list-articles.  "Delete" decisions are almost always inappropriate IMHO, as it would be here, because wp:ATD is obvious, available. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 00:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Note in recent Articles for deletion/JW Marriott Tower Hotel, it was noted that List of tallest skyscrapers in Qatar and List of tallest buildings in Doha, Qatar both exist, and overlap, and should be merged. Make that decision part of closure of this AFD. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 00:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * IMHO "Delete" judgement on separate building AFDs may seem attractive so that AFD editors/closer can act emphatic/harsh, but may contribute to frustration on the part of the outsider editors who create and re-create these. Let them see their material in edit history of the redirect.  As part of closing AFDs on tall buildings, advice the creators that some more detail, with sourcing, can be included in the row(s) of the table in list-article.  Channel their energy rather than inflaming.  Obviously past practices have not cut off the churn, so how about try to help these editors make a small impact in the list-articles, instead?  Or would that be appeasement, and Wikipedia should be punitive instead? --Doncram (talk,contribs) 00:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of tallest buildings in Doha, Qatar - lack of acceptable coverage but clearly a plausible search term Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of tallest buildings in Doha, Qatar per above suggestions.  // Timothy :: talk  09:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
