List of countries with most skyscrapers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This statistics looks very strange. First of all, referencing comes from very unreliable sites. Furthermore, how come China is 2nd place with 7000 skyscrapers while Hong Kong is number one with 2354? Since when 7000 is lower than 2354?

Finally, it contains a lot of errors as more countries should be included here. NovaSkola (talk) 10:39, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * delete open to original research. Even the article Skyscraper says "There is no official definition or height above which a building may be classified as a skyscraper". LibStar (talk) 14:08, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SALAT. I can't see how such a list would be useful and educational. The combined height of buildings over 100m in a country is a trivial statistic with no demonstrated notability. There is no explanation given as to how this supposed to "contribute to the state of human knowledge". - ELEKHHT 23:56, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
