List of tallest buildings in Montana

 * - (|View AfD) (View log)

I think I would rather not see this page deleted. It does seem to have gotten out of hand lately; it was only the top 10 buildings at one time. Now it is mostly a list of low-rise buildings. Really the top 3 buildings are the only high-rise buildings in Montana. However, all in all I think I would rather see the page stay.

Why?

is this being considered for deletion? I think it is important to keep. I agree, maybe some of these buildings can be deleted as they're only 4 highrises. Three are in Billings and maybe one in Bozeman. Wolfdog406 (talk) 04:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:30, 16 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Is this a joke? The tallest building is only 20 stories tall. The topic is not notable.  And WP is not a directory of (non-notable) buildings. Steve Dufour (talk) 14:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Question Why doesn't someone start a page on the largest cattle ranches on Long Island? Steve Dufour (talk) 15:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Neutral on this one. Steve has a point. List of tallest buildings in Billings is even less notable.  Seems there are no big skyscrapers in the "Big Sky State", but perhaps the information can be incorporated into one of the articles in Category:Montana-related lists.  Lists of tallest buildings are a common feature in books like the World Almanac, so it's not unencyclopedic, nor is it a joke.  We might have lists of cattle ranches, I'm afraid to look for fear I might find one.  If it's a matter of the page getting out of hand lately, everyone has a right to edit an article on Wikipedia.

 * fyi, List of ranches and stations. meh, I'm no fan of these lists. Dlabtot (talk) 03:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Crazy DenverLady

This page was nominated for deletion DenverLady. DenverLady has been vandalizing this page over and over again, I should have reported this person along time ago but I didn’t. I urge everyone to look at all this person’s contributions on all the pages they edit. DenverLady all most exclusively vandalizes pages to make Missoula Montana look like something it isn’t. I like Missoula, it’s a beautiful town but apparently DenverLady isn’t happy with Missoula and wants it to be the center of the world with the tallest buildings and many more people than it has. This person creates wiki pages that are not true at all, just to use as references. DenverLady just created a page on the largest cities in the west. Missoula isn’t on it yet bet I bet in a week or so Missoula will be listed as one of the largest cites in the western United States.

I am tired of policing this person and I agree this page has grown to large The top three buildings are the only high-rises in Montana. More got add a by DenverLady just trying list more buildings in Missoula but none of them belonged. Rather than shrink the list back down I put the buildings on that did belong.

I think I will edit the list down to those three buildings and please leave this page. And PLEASE everyone check out the contributions made by DenverLady.

I am new to this and maybe I am not doing everything right but I have just been trying to keep this page truthful if anyone wants to help me that would be great.

 * Delete no indication from reliable sources that the subject is notable. Indeed, it is almost a joke -- like a list of the greatest German lovers, or yes, the largest ranches on Long Island. Dlabtot (talk) 03:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete None of these buildings are very tall compared to the tallest in America. If any of these buildings were tall enough, I would say redirect to "List of tallest buildings in America," but the tallest building in Montana is about 30 floors off the lowest on the list I mentioned earlier!

Do Not Delete This is a list of the tallest buildings in Montana, a state of only one million people. So no none of the buildings are even close to being on the tallest buildings in the United States. That doe not make them any less valid. I am from Montana and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be to impressed with a list of mountain ranges on the east cost or a list of the largest nation parks in New York but that would make them no less valid.

Do Not Delete The very person that has been vandalizing it nominated this page for deletion. Linda Rider (talk) 04:46, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Do Not Delete Lists like these are very common and I don’t think that this list should be deleted just because most of the buildings on the list are low-rise buildings. The page is “the tallest buildings in Montana” not “High-Rises of Montana” or the “Tallest buildings in the world”. I think the page needs to be redone, most likely using only the top three buildings on this list, easily online referenced. Rebuild but not deleted. Linda Rider (talk) 05:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Please use the label "Do not delete" or "keep" (or for that matter "delete" or "merge") only once. Everything else can be referred to as Comment.  It's a common first time mistake, I've done it before myself, but the closing administrator has to get an idea about how many separate people are venturing an opinion.  Thank you.

 * Delete the point of the article appears to be that there actually aren't any tall buildings in Montana. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete List of three locally and only moderately tall buildings doesn't appear to be useful. --Elekhh (talk) 22:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment While I concur that the article probably doesn't meet our guidelines, and probably should be merged somewhere (of possible), I find this nomination to be irretrievably flawed, and would likely have closed it on a procedural basis had I noticed it. Such is life, we now have multiple good faith editors recommending deletion - which is fine, as I agree more than disagree. Just bothered me, is all, how this went down.

I realize these buildings aren’t all that tall compared to most metropolitan areas but that is really not the point of this article. They are tall buildings in this part of the world. The First Interstate tower is the tallest building in within the five state region of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North and South Dakota. That is a pretty large land area.
 * Keep

Sara goth (talk) 01:41, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

There is and entire category Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States that has over a hundred pages of lists just like this one. If this one were deleted wouldn’t all of all of those pages be eligible for deletion? Sara goth (talk) 21:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * I would support that, by WP's stated policies. WP is not supposed to be a directory, nor are articles supposed to be written about the intersection of two unrelated things. In this case the intersection of tall building and Montana was kind of quiet, but I would even question an article on the tallest buildings in Chicago or New York.  "Tall building" is one topic, a location is another. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment The information in this article could be merged into a paragraph in Billings, Montana. Like: "The three tallest buildings in Montana are in Billings [their names and heights]."
 * Like: "New York has many tall buildings..." (In New York City) and "Two of the most important cities in the history of skyscrapers are New York and Chicago." (In Skyscraper) But not "List of tallest buildings in New York City" or "List of tallest buildings in Chicago."  This is about how information should be presented according to what WP policies say (as imperfectly understood by me.) It is not about what information should be given. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course "List of tallest buildings in the world" is fine, and needed...no intersection there. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:53, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete I could also make a list of tallest stands and dressers in my house article and call it notable because they are the tallest dressers and stands on my property which is important to me and because it's accurate to the inch and it would be, too.
