List of tallest buildings and structures in Hull

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Hull is a great English city known for many things but tall buildings certainly ain't one of them and this article, in a weird way, actually confirms that. The fact that 40m is the bar set for 'tall' here says it all really. I know that there is no definite line drawn as to when "List of tallest buildings in ___" become notable or not notable. I would say, however, that wherever we draw that line, this article must fall short of those standards. It fails WP:LISTN for multiple reasons:


 * Firstly, the list has no navigational purpose as the overwhelming majority of the buildings featured are not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article.
 * Secondly, this topic does not have WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Database listings in Emporis do not constitute significant coverage.
 * I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Hull' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here. The best thing I could find was this article in the local paper.
 * Only one significant high-rise building under construction or even planned currently so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft. If anything, Hull's days of having tall buildings seem to be over.
 * The whole article is currently a violation of WP:OR.
 * The city is not the largest in England nor is it the capital.
 * I really do not believe that a building being taller than 40m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in London and Manchester so why are we doing it here?

 * delete per nom. I see no reason for this list. Mangoe (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - please note that none of these buildings actually appear in List of tallest buildings in Yorkshire and, of course, none in List of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom either Spiderone  21:00, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:LISTN does not have WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS discussing this as a group. The city is not notable for tall buildings and the buildings on the list are not notably tall. The list does not meet WP:CLN, there is nothing there that can assist in navigation, just a list of redlinks waiting for someone to create nn articles that will eventually end up at AfD.  // Timothy ::  talk  14:22, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and above; also, fails my standards: while Kingston upon Hull has 250,000 residents and there are three notable buildings on the list, it is not known as a resort, no building on the list is over 60 stories, and it doesn't make sense to have such as separate list.
