List of tallest buildings in Burlington, Vermont

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )


 * Delete. Non-notable, small buildings in small city in small state. More Lilliputian than notable. (Nice picture though). Student7 (talk) 22:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC) Student7 (talk) 22:53, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Userfy to incubate. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:37, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to  Burlington, Vermont. 76.66.200.95 (talk) 04:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Valid list of encyclopedic topic. That the nom doesn't like it's in a "small city" and "small state" is irrelevant to an encyclopedia.  Singapore is even smaller than Vermont.  Should we throw List of tallest buildings in Singapore up for AfD too? --Oakshade (talk) 06:15, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Singapore has over eight times the population of Vermont, and the multiple over Burlington, Vermont (which is the scope of this article) is between 25 and 130, depending on how you define the limits of Burlington, so I don't know where the idea that "Singapore is even smaller than Vermont" comes from, and how it is relevant to this discussion. There may (although I doubt it) be a case to be made for keeping this, but this certainly isn't it. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Clear inclusion criteria for the topic.  Lugnuts  (talk) 06:55, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have any problem with this list in principle, but it looks like only one of the top five tallest merits an article: Decker Towers, which is also the tallest building in Vermont, and the shortest of any state's tallest building (if you can parse that). It seems like this would probably be better handled in another topic, with this maybe left as a redirect for completion purposes.  Maybe a list of tallest buildings of Vermont would be more appropriate, for the state overall and/or for a list of the tallest building in each town, if those buildings are notable.  postdlf (talk) 20:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge to Burlington,_Vermont or Decker Towers. The other 4 buildings are non-notable (I searched online, WP:AGF on that, and it was boring!) so this list is not useful for navigation. It therefore remains to impart information, and that would be better delivered in the context of one of the other two articles. Tallest suggests sone sort of notability, which is why Singapore has a tallest buildings article, but if a town of less than 40,000 people can have such a list just because one local news source added the list as a sidebar to a report, then we are treading all over WP:LOCAL. Furthermore, there's a whole lot of WP:TRIVIA here - lots of non-remarkable buildings exist in towns and have floors and a height, are we suddenly going to create articles for all conurbations bigger than 38,000 people because we think this information is important? I really hope not. Apologies for the essay, Bigger digger (talk) 00:20, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable because the city has way too few tall buildings. Comparing this to List of tallest buildings in Singapore is ridiculous. Singapore has many notable tall buildings.— Chris! c / t 20:30, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not that the buildings themselves need to be notable. This is a list of the tallest in a single city. --Oakshade (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
