Kastor und Pollux

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I've agonized over nominating this one for most of the evening, but I'm going to go forward with a nomination. The buildings described seem to be of limited notability; there are no clear guidelines on what is/isn't a notable office building (obviously a hundred-story skyscraper is probably notable; a ten-story one, probably not).

Pollux might be notable based on its height (it shows up as the 15th tallest building in Frankfurt), but Castor (at only 22 floors tall) probably isn't on its own. Neither seems to get much coverage of any kind (notably, GNews yields zero hits relating to them either in German (Kastor und Pollux) or English (Castor and Pollux) attached to the term "Frankfurt", used to sift out references to the mythological creatures). Google hits seem to be limited to a few stray (highly detailed) lists of buildings in Frankfurt and to personal pictures which happen to include the buildings. Thus, I feel that notability is not achieved, primarily due to the sheer lack of press coverage and limited other coverage. Tyrenon (talk) 10:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - This does appear to be a major business complex in on of the major business centers of Europe. The Frankfurter Rundschau has given it significant coverage.--Oakshade (talk) 16:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Over this past month, I have been editing and creating new articles for skyscrapers in Frankfurt am Main using some text that was translated from their corresponding articles at the German Wikipedia using Google's translator. Some of the translations generated by it are kind of low-quality, but I do manage to make some modifications to the translated text. Those kind of edits are constructive and the articles I edited/created need improvement, not deletion. If the translated text is poor, it needs to be cleaned up and improved by other editors instead of being reverted or deleted altogether. There is a project named Translate and some users in the English Wikipedia from Germany might be able to help. No page in Wikipedia is supposed to be proposed for deletion all of a sudden after tags such as "cleanup" or "unreferenced" have been added to the article.
