List of tallest buildings and structures in Wolverhampton

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have to say I don't remember Wolverhampton having a notable skyline. 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 Skyscrapernews, Skyscraperpage and Emporis do not constitute significant coverage.
 * I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Wolverhampton' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
 * No significant high-rise buildings under construction or even planned currently so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft.
 * The whole article is currently a violation of WP:NOTMIRROR in that it's just a copy and paste from Emporis and Skyscrapernews.
 * 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: 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.  // Timothy ::  talk  14:25, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and above; also, it fails my standards: while the city has almost 250,000 residents, there are no notable buildings linked, Wolverhampton is not known as a holiday destination, none of the buildings are over 60 stories, and a stand-alone list makes no sense.

 * Delete according to my search this list fails GNG, LISTN, etc. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  02:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
