List of largest residences in Saudi Arabia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Except for geo coordinates, article is a duplicate of the information in Palaces in the article Al-Waleed bin Talal. While this article has 2 reliable sources, the sources are about Al-Waleed and only make passing mention of the palaces. The Wikipedia Arabic article on Al-Waleed does not contain any information about the residences. I did an extensive WP:Before search and found no sources that have substantial information. Article fails WP:NBUILD. I also tried to expand the list, but found nothing. Aurornisxui (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting to allow discussion of 's merge suggestion.
 * Delete. Three entries doesn't make a notable list. Ajf773 (talk) 19:01, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Trivial list about few residences. Sdmarathe (talk) 06:28, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to world-wide title, List of largest residences (new list-article, just being created by me to address this AFD), leaving redirect behind to give credit due to original authors, in the edit history. It is fine to have a 3-item section there about huge houses in Saudi Arabia.  This list-article is one of only two national-level list-articles (the U.S. is the other) in Category:Lists of largest buildings and structures. --Doncram (talk) 20:22, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. I don't see any problem with a list like this. I would accept Doncram's merge proposal as a compromise.  A list does not require in-depth discussion of individual members of the list.  In any case, there is coverage, for instance The Guardian and Vanity Fair. SpinningSpark 00:11, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. While the concept of this article is fine, there is nothing to confirm that this is really list of the largest residences in Saudi - i.e no notable independent magazine has done a review of the top 10 largest residences in Saudi? Therefore, the content is of little use to any reader, it is simply a list of three large houses in Saudi. Britishfinance (talk) 19:58, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
