List of tallest buildings in Metairie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Buildings mostly are not notable nor that tall. Nothing to indicate that the group as a whole received significant reliable source coverage as required by WP:LISTN Rusf10 (talk) 03:11, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete These buildings are largely not notable, nor that tall, with a fairly low cutoff here compared to other article. Not every city with a few buildings that aren't even Skyscrapers needs a tallest buildings list. The tallest are already in List of tallest buildings in Louisiana so a redirect there would work.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Re-opening and relisting after a "merge" closure.
 * Redirect and merge to Metairie. Not much here.  Four of the buildings have their own article; eleven don't.  Sourcing is spare in this one. WP:Preserve supports merging rather than deleting.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 11:54, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Merge Only four of them have their own article, so a redirect to List of tallest buildings in Louisiana makes sense. Or merge it to Metairie.  Either place is a valid redirect.   D r e a m Focus  15:49, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment- only three of these buildings have articles, one is a redirect.--Rusf10 (talk) 16:12, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect and merge per Dream Focus. Actually only two of them have articles specifically about the building, with "East Jefferson General Hospital Tower I" being about a multisite multibuilding organization not the building itself (which is not even mentioned in the organization's article).

 * What would you like to merge? Everything is sourced to an unreliable source (Emporis.com).--Rusf10 (talk) 15:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't look at the sources themselves. Neutral facts like like building-height of exceptionally tall buildings can probably be sourced to local documents. But since only the top three on this page are within the top 50 of the state, there's not even anything to add there. Emporis being a poor but only source is a widespread situation among Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States pages (not that I think it's a good or supportable situation, just observing).

 * Redirect - There is no reliably-sourced content to merge. The only source, Emporis, is user-generated. –dlthewave ☎ 12:30, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect - don't have to throw baby out with bath water, especially from a tall building MaskedSinger (talk) 17:23, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only source being used is Emporis, which is not a reliable source. I was not able to find any other reliable sources, and it seems that no one else in this discussion was successful at locating any either.  Thus, merging improperly sourced information to other articles does not seem appropriate.  I would not be too opposed to a Redirect to some of the various potential targets mentioned above, such as List of tallest buildings in Louisiana, however as I don't consider this to be an especially plausible search term, its not a position I would personally endorse.
