Dubai Central Library

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

AfD restart due to canvassing and sockpuppetry issues. Previous rationale was "no CSD for buildings. no indication of notability. building is not complete, and entry was tagged as outdated in 2010. no references, no coverage on google news. uses skyscrapercity.com, a forum site, in its list of ELs.

 * Keep: Per The National, Luxury Launches, AME, and News AZ. SL93 (talk) 15:31, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. All sources are announcements, this library isn't built yet. It is in project status first announced in 2006 for 2008, last announced on 3. July 2013 without giving a specific realisation date. Even the building site isn't decided yet. City Projects in early state can change or disappear. This is a bit to vague for an encyclopedia: WP:NOTCRYSTAL. SL93, this one News AZ have reported a current meeting in a not yet built library and used for that a CGI, stolen from the web site of the architect's office asp. Low quality journalism. --Ben Ben (talk) 16:51, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Another article, from the same author from 2009, demonstrates was could happen if articles relay only on news about 'real estate investors' future plans: Articles for deletion/Zabeel Mall (2nd nomination). --Ben Ben (talk) 19:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:TOOSOON.  GregJackP   Boomer!   00:05, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep For sufficiently major projects, even the planning can be notable. A national library is sufficiently major.  DGG ( talk ) 19:45, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Michaelzeng7 (alt) (talk) 01:05, 17 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Too soon, and the area in particular is known lately for halting planned projects due to financial concerns. Once construction begins or actual permits are issued then create. Caffeyw (talk) 08:20, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Even as vaporware, this planned building has received signficant coverage. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 01:31, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you provide some? -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ]# &#9604; 03:54, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

 * The first of those is clearly labeled as a press release. the second is a blog (see WP:SELFPUB) that I don't find any mention of at WP:RSN history. My sense is that it's also non-RS. Got any others? -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ]# &#9604; 17:30, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
