Delete and redirect. Fails WP:OR. All proper info is ad Chicago Landmark. This page constitutes a page of buildings people like (fails WP:ILIKEIT). They are not "official" landmarks like those at Chicago Landmark. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Or perhaps transwiki. Seems to me that making it conform to List_guideline, and moving it to List of Landmarks in Chicago would be prudent and the best option. --Remi 20:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Chicago Landmark has a specific meaning and the buildings on this list are not the designated Chicago Landmarks. This is just a partial listing of buildings and things that someone has decided to call "landmarks." The list is cribbed from the linked website and is incomplete. The article includes a section on "future landmarks" which is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. A complete list of the officially designated landmarks exists at Chicago Landmark.

 * Keep and rename to e.g. List of notable buildings and structures in Chicago or similar. There are numerous notable structures in any city that will not be eligible for designation as an historic landmark, but there's no reason we can't organize a list of them. There is a difference between a "landmark" and a "Landmark". --Dhartung | Talk 02:52, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems kind of pointless in this instance to duplicate Category:Buildings and structures in Chicago in list form. I know the one doesn't automatically negate the other but in this instance the cat is far superior. Otto4711 21:43, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


 * keep and rename notable concept and could be an encyclopediac list. Should be renamed List of landmarks in Chicago--Sefringle 04:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Again, "landmark" has a specific meaning in the context of Chicago, as found in the article Chicago Landmark. Maintaining this list, especially under a name that includes the word "landmark" in the title, engenders confusion with the actual "Chicago Landmarks." There is no purpose in duplicating the extensive categorization system of Category:Buildings and structures in Chicago with a list article which will also be confusing.

 * Delete topic is better handled by Category:Buildings and structures in Chicago. If someone wants to make a List of notable buildings in Chicago that is not redundant to the category they should feel free, but this page isn't it.  Eluchil404 17:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
