 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. Nominator is a probable sockpuppet of some indeterminate user, and none of the reasons provided are sufficient for deletion. Closing as frivolous re-nomination. (non-admin closure) Dronebogus (talk) 00:07, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

1. How do we define "destroyed"? Partially destroyed? Completely destroyed? To paraphrase a discussion from the talk page of the main list of destroyed heritage, are we to differentiate between deliberate destruction caused by humans (e.g. the September 11 attacks), vs. natural disaster (e.g. the Hurricane Katrina examples)? What's very confusing is that this article only seems to cover the former whereas the main article seems to cover both.

2. And how do we define "heritage"? Do the contents of List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests count as heritage? The answer would depend on the political inclinations of whoever you ask. We could use criteria like National Register of Historic Places, but there would likely be too many, and that list only covers locations.

3. And why does this deserve a completely separate article (and in a separate format) from the general list of destroyed heritage?

Overall, for these reasons, I feel like this list is unhelpful, and serves little purpose which cannot be found in the main article. In its current state it can hardly stand, and I can hardly see any way to improve it that cannot be better off done in editing the main artice.

 * Keep for the same reasoned I mentioned last time. The criteria is clearly defined and everything listed has its own article.  The nominator has two edits before sending this article to deletion and has a name that includes throwaway.  WiktionariThrowaway, if you have another Wikipedia account, you need to reveal it now.
