List of tallest buildings in Abbotsford, British Columbia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article opens with "None of Abbotsford's tallest buildings are among the tallest in Canada" which 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 Skyscraperpage and Emporis do not constitute significant coverage.
 * I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Abbotsford' 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 as it is almost entirely a copy and paste from Skyscraperpage.
 * The city is not the largest in British Columbia nor is it the capital.
 * I really do not believe that a building being taller than 50m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in Vancouver and Montreal so why are we doing it here?

 * Delete per nom. This information is non-notable trivia.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 22:39, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Having taller buildings than Chilliwack, Richmond and White Rock is not exactly a notable distinction. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:18, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom, the list fails WP:LISTN. There aren't reliable sources, Abbotsford isn't a major city, and none of the buildings are actually very tall. I doubt anyone is gonna build a skyscraper in Abbotsford but if at some point in the future they build more than one, maybe this page would be warranted.

 * Keep Tall buildings in Abbotsford has been mentioned as a group by Skyscraper Page. SO IT MEETS WP:LISTN and should bot be deleted. 122.60.173.107 (talk) 20:40, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Isn't that user submitted content? Are there any other sources discussing the tall buildings of Abbotsford? Spiderone  20:46, 18 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per mom, past outcomes, and my own low standards. Not a single building is over 26 stories, and none are notable themselves, thus violating WP:LIST. It is well-established that mirroring a single source violates one of our core rules: we report but do not create original research. Bearian (talk) 21:57, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedence that's becoming quite ample. Geschichte (talk) 20:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
