Countries with the most highrise buildings

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article presents no sources and does not define what is considered a "highrise" building. Also, as so many construction projects are going on constantly, the information changes so fast that it is very difficult to keep the page up to date. KFP (talk | contribs) 18:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: I am guessing it is either a hoax, or something the author read somewhere. But they have to be estimates anyways.  Interesting, but without reliable sources to verify, delete it. - Rjd0060 18:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:V as well as WP:ENC. --Dhartung | Talk 18:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong delete so hopeless it makes you want to jump from every single building in that list.--Victor falk 20:21, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I assume the author got his/her information from a site like Emporis, which compiles such information., , , , , . There are several established definitions for "high-rise", so this article isn't hopeless, although it is currently out-of-date. Zagalejo ^ ^  ^  20:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete OUCH!! This is what WP:STAT is all about, which is to avoid tossing in unexplained statistics like 18,745 high rise buildings in the USA and 10,754 in China "including 7,840 in Hong Kong" Mandsford 20:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

 * You're right. I couldn't remember the exact#name.  72.151.55.27 12:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete A nearly impossible task to keep current, and I would observe that my experience with Emporis would cause me to have grave suspicion of its accuracy as a source (even if it was mentioned as one in the article).   Acroterion  (talk)  03:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, list of countries and some number next to them. Pavel Vozenilek 04:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
