List of tallest buildings in Duluth

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unfortunately, this seems to be another list of not very tall buildings in a city where there seems to be no WP:SIGCOV on this topic. 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 Duluth' 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 Emporis.
 * The city is not the largest in Minnesota nor is it the capital.
 * I really do not believe that a building being taller than 35m makes it notable, which is the bar used here.

 * Delete - I was able to find one source titled "What’s the tallest building in Duluth?", but it was the only such source I could find talking about the tall buildings of Duluth and it doesn't go into the other current tall buildings, just an upcoming expansion at Essentia Health. As for individual buildings, Greysolon Plaza (Hotel Duluth), and Board of Trade Building probably deserve describing at Duluth Commercial Historic District, but I'm not sure there's enough for standalone articles for the two of them. So, I agree with the nominator's reasoning. Chris857 (talk) 23:00, 22 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 are not notably tall. The list does not meet WP:CLN, none of the entries are notable, so there is nothing there that can assist in navigation.  // Timothy ::  talk  15:11, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
