El Matador Tower

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

Sourcing on this 44 story building is restricted to a passel of advertisments and press releases on Google News Archives. I can't tell if construction has started or finished on it. But the lack of independent sources means one thing for sure; it fails Wikipedia's verifiability and notability rules. Furthermore, even if one accepts the sources as independent, they don't make claims of notability; the building is small by Dubai standards, it will have terraces, it had an easy payment plan. I get the impression that it was a bit downscale, with smaller loft apts. Deprodded. Glittering Pillars (talk) 21:54, 14 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete - another building that will never be built in Dubai. Less than non-notable. Bearian (talk) 01:49, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. The Emporis link says this building has been approved, but construction hasn't begun. Emporis also says that the Jumeirah Village area of Dubai (in which this building is) has 177 planned buildings, of which only around 15% have even started construction (and only one has been finished!) — given the economic situation in Dubai, it's looking increasingly unlikely that many more buildings will be started at this point.
