No indication of notability; being sixth tallest in a country is not WP-notability. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:47, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: The Spanish wikipedia version says it was the tallest building in Venezuela from 1978-79; am looking for a good source to confirm.--Milowent • hasspoken 03:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. I would opine that being the sixth tallest building in a largish country is indeed sufficiently notable. If it was indeed briefly the country's tallest building then this is even more notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you please clarify how this is related to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies? I don't believe we have a specific guideline on buildings that allows an exception to WP:GNG, nor precedent as there is with high schools and human habitations. Qwyrxian (talk) 15:28, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh for God's sake. Once again, ad infinitem, Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. My opinion in an AfD discussion is not required to be backed up with any quoting of policies or guidelines. Any claim it does need to be shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is all about. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:03, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. The original creator of this article seems to like tall buildings, but that does not make them notable.  Also, no references and not notable.  LogicalCreator (talk) 09:07, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: After my comment above, I did look for sources, am having a hell of a time (not shocking to me because of the country involved and the lack of online archives).  This keep is somewhat WP:IAR perhaps, but since the building seems to have been the tallest building in Venezuela for a time, I think it should be kept.  If we cannot stand having it, perhaps we can redirect it to List of tallest buildings in South America (leaving the history) in the hope it might be sourced better and recreated in the future.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: I was going to say that leaving a redirect is fine...but I don't see this building on that list, Milowent. Am I just missing it? Qwyrxian (talk) 00:22, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, its on there, it took me a few scans to find it also.--Milowent • hasspoken 02:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
