The result was   delete. This is unsourced, incomplete, and as noted would be better served as part of Davao City. However, as the entries are currently unsourced, no merge is possible. At some point, those entries (such as top 5) could be moved there. As it's so unsourced, delete becomes the de facto consensus ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 11:47, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in Davao City

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The list has no particularly tall buildings at all, so a question of notability is raised. Plus, another "Tall Buildings" list has been deleted for similar reasons: insufficient info, the city does not actually have "tall" buildings that warrant a separate article, etc. Xeltran (talk) 11:05, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete It's just plain silly (and perhaps even subtly insulting) to have a tallest buildings list of a place with no tall buildings. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  11:28, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - the list contains several completed buildings over 10 storeys and several proposed buildings over 20 storeys. These are tall by many peoples' standards (though obviously not if you live in New York or Hong Kong). However, the list needs much cleanup, being filled with ??'s and mainly unsourced. Sionk (talk) 20:54, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sionk. There's 28 buildings in the list with ten or more storeys, at least 19 of which appear to be material. It's also worth noting that this is the fourth largest city in the Philippines; we generally should want to retain as much pertinent detail about it as possible. —  C M B J   21:47, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, but just barely. As the fourth largest city in the Philippines and the largest in Mindanao, it should probably have an article like this one. Normally I wouldn't say so (even 20 stories is not particularly tall for me, but probably because I've been spoiled with Manila), but since it is a major city, and it has many (by Philippine standards) tall buildings (even my city doesn't have even one), it can have article, even if just to get rid of systematic bias. If there can be a List of tallest buildings in Miami article (the population of Miami proper, but not the metropolitan area, is smaller than that of Davao's, although obviously Miami has more high-rises), then we should have one for Davao. Addition sources to improve the article are welcomed however. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:44, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Davao City - the majority of the entries don't even list how tall the buildings actually are, just how many stories. No need for this to be spun off from the main article for the city, the referenced bits of it can be included there. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:33, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge : I support merger of the article as suggested by fellow user above. There is not so compelling reason to have an article like this. Questions can be raised like :
 * 1. Why not have a list of Top 10, Top 50 or Top 100 building? Why only Top 20?
 * 2. Why is this city only significant to have such an article as a separate case?
 * In future, users might go on creating such articles for each and every metro or town (as in case of Miami cited by user Narutolovehinata5) . Obviously, this is not very significant until unless the city has some very high sky scrappers that might list in World's Top 10 or so. VIVEK RAI : Friend?  10:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
