List of largest palaces

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Category-masquerading-as-an-article. Fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Save a few exceptions, most of these palaces are not even important enough to get mentioned on the page of their respective palace. Thus, there is no reasonable ground on which to expect the presence of significant coverage from which to write encyclopedic prose for this list topic, either, on top of the NOT issue.

 * Keep. I see no reason for this deletion. This article is well-sourced and " most of these palaces are not even important enough to get mentioned on the page of their respective palace" is clearly completely untrue. A perfectly acceptable list article and obviously not a "category-masquerading-as-an-article". I do find it odd that someone joins Wikipedia and within four days has nominated an article for deletion. I'm sure this is well-intentioned, but it is not a valid nomination for deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:14, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I also find this a rather odd nomination. It plainly is a list, rather than a category, and a pretty-well sourced and very well illustrated one to boot. And the comment, that most of the "palaces are not even important enough to get mentioned on the page of their respective palace" just doesn't make sense. I can well imagine the question, "What's the world's biggest palace?" being asked, and this article makes a good stab at answering it. Isn't that what we're about?

 * Keep - Per Necrothesp. Clearly does not fail WP:NOTDIRECTORY and passes WP:SALAT. WJ94 (talk) 11:32, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is not so that is not a category-masquerding-as-an-article. That is just kidding. MarkisMysoe (talk) 11:42, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Perfect valid article, has plenty of referenced content. I'm not seeing any problems here.   D r e a m Focus  12:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep with a reminder about the dozens of other lists of largest things on WP. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 12:52, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I have some suspicions about the merit of this nomination and have filed paperwork. Unfortunately my on wiki time is limited this week and don't want to take admin action directly as I won't be around to follow up promptly. Star   Mississippi  13:48, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
