List of tallest buildings in Hyderabad

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Hyderabad does not have a significant number of high-rise buildings and the subject of the article lacks sources. Secret of success (talk) 15:25, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve this relatively new article per WP:NRVE. Topic notability is based upon the availability of sources, and not whether or not sources are present in articles. See also WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. There's also significant precedent for these types of articles on Wikipedia. For starters, see this search. Northamerica1000(talk) 19:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * What I said was that sources were not available in searches and not in the article. There may be other cities having a similar article, but we require sources to establish notability, and they are not available. Secret of success (talk) 14:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Google web search does not give any reliable sources on the topic. Secret of success (talk) 14:35, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep.There are plenty of high rises in Hyderabad as you can see in the updated list and also there are many more under construction, approved or proposed.This city is all set to become a skyscraper hot spot and this is a nice page tracking its development.Also its a fast developing city.So many more skyscrapers will come in near future,we all should keep some patience. Therefore,this page should not be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnmolSingh0019 (talk • contribs) 09:54, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That may well be true, but we require reliable sources to establish notability, and since they do not exist, the article fails WP:GNG. Secret of success (talk) 12:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete The list is constructed by sorting through a few commercial websites and ordering the buildings by height - clearly original research. The sources are not reliable sources and there may be many more, possibly higher, buildings even assuming the sources are accurate. Meaningless and possibly misleading list. --regentspark (comment) 12:20, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Tough Call, but I don't find any strong reason to believe that the source "emporis.com" is not reliable. Also, the source used in this article has also been extensively used in List of tallest buildings in Mumbai. -- Anbu121  ( talk me ) 18:11, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Emporis appears to have copied a lot of content from Wikipedia, like in this page. It doesn't look like an RS to me. Secret of success (talk) 18:20, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I could not verify that anything in the page you mentioned has been copied from Wikipedia. Copied from which article? -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 18:42, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Emporis is a commercial enterprise and is unlikely to have done the sort of fact checking necessary for reliability. It does not qualify as a reliable source. Also, it is useful to note that commercial enterprises report information selectively, thus any list that relies on this site is likely to be incorrect. A list of this sort is useless if other taller buildings are missing from it. --regentspark (comment) 13:36, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep' Can you tell us which tall buildings are not included in this list,if there are any. This is a nice and complete article which should not be deleted.Lazyboyanmol (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The question here is the reliability of sources, and not the omission of data from the list. Since the sources are not reliable, the article does not pass the general notability guideline. Secret of success (talk) 14:21, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 *  Keep . References used here are from Emporis and Skyscrapercity which are most reliable sources available on net about any skyscraper.Also, Emporis does not copy anything from anywhere and data available on Skyscrapercity is the outcome of extensive research and hard work of forumers. No one can doubt that. References from these resources are used on every 'List of tallest buildings' page available on Wikipedia.This means you have to delete all that pages. Nothing on this list is copied from any commercial website.I don't understand what reliable sources you are asking for.You can give me the name of website and i will try to find some sources from there also.

 * Emporis is not a commercial website. This is also used as primary source in List of tallest buildings in New York City.AnmolSingh0019 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:45, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * References from Skyscraperpage have also been added now.Lazyboyanmol (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
