List of tallest buildings and structures in Blackpool

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Following the demolition of Walter Robinson Court, Elizabeth Court and Churchill Court, this list article is reduced to effectively comprise three entries: the Blackpool Tower and two theme park rides. Given that there are no plans to build any structures of significant height in Blackpool beyond this, I am nominating this article for deletion because it is not notable for these reasons.

 * Delete Per nom. There's only really one tall structure in Blackpool, regardless of how many rollercoasters and rides they build.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:33, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment The article should not be deleted because, at a minimum it can be merged/redirected to a larger area list of tallest buildings. It is quite normal to have/keep lists of tallest buildings.  Also, it doesn't terribly matter that two buildings are gone;  they can still be described as former structures, and I don't know that 5 or 3 items is too few to have a list about, anyhow.  Having list-articles is good for limiting rampant coverage of individual buildings in separate articels.  We don't want to force creation of separate articles in lieu of having buildings covered as individual items in a list.  Please get it together and figure where you want this material merged to, if you really hate this list-article.  Then whether it should be merged or not is a function of how long that other list is, perhaps. --Doncram (talk) 21:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. It's just one of many similar lists in Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom.  One option would be to merge the Blackpool list with the List of tallest buildings and structures in Preston and perhaps other lists to create List of tallest buildings and structures in Lancashire (currently a redlink), which could then have one section for Blackpool and one section for Preston, with no net gain in any quest to remove information from Wikipedia.  I fail to see why the Blackpool information should be simply deleted.  I fail to see why merger should be necessary, though I don't terribly oppose it.  I'll "vote" Keep for now, would update my vote if someone does some work.
 * By the way, if Walter Robinson Court has in fact been demolished, then someone should update List of tallest buildings by United Kingdom settlement which maybe now should drop it, and perhaps update List of tallest destroyed buildings and structures in the United Kingdom which maybe now should add it. --Doncram (talk) 04:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete There really is very little to be gained in this article. The Blackpool Tower already is mentioned in the tallest UK structures list, and the two rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach are already referred to within that article. The three demolished structures are not notable, almost every town and city has or had high rise apartment blocks, and the Blackpool ones were comparatively short.

 * Delete, per Anonymoussmith. Aside from its eponymous tower, Blackpool does not have a significant or notable association with high-rise buildings and structures, and this is demonstrated by the small number of entries on this list (which are all presently covered in other articles on high-rise structures in the UK).
