List of 3D cities in Google Earth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This long list of cities is ultimately unsourced, and can only be sourced through actual research (which Wikipedia doesn't do) of the very subject: this means, namely, launching Google Earth and studying which places have 3D buildings and which do not. A reliable secondary source informing us in a feasibly verifiable manner does not seem to be available (except possibly for a KML outline which may pose similar problems as Google Earth itself). The subject itself may not be notable in the first place outside of the already-covered subject of Google Earth, and including it there may be giving this aspect of the software a highly WP:UNDUE weight.

 * delete Wikipedia is not a directory. Wikipedia lists are for organizing information in wikipedia. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Would appear to go against WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Describing the process of the 3-D rendering in general may be of sufficient weight in related articles, but not listing every instance for a standalone article. This would especially become the case as this becomes more common rather than a rarity. Kingofaces43 (talk) 05:09, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. In time, this will merely be a list of most or all cities on Earth. bd2412  T 18:35, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
