List of tallest buildings in Ranchi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a recently created article, published by on 7 September 2015‎. The concern is that this article is based upon a single source, and that source is an internet forum post which provides absolutely no verifiable detail. See: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=126895518&postcount=1056 I am recommending deletion, as this list is purely based upon original research and fails basic verification policies. Efforts were made WP:BEFORE this nomination to locate reliable sources, but were not successful on my part. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:43, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. It appears none of the listed buildings are notable (we barely have enough entries in Category:Buildings and structures in Ranchi to have a completely general "list of buildings and structures in Ranchi", period), and so we'd at least expect some measure of the list topic itself ("tallest buildings in Ranchi") being notable and thus satisfying WP:LISTN. Otherwise I'm failing to see the informational value, and I think we (correctly) tend to delete "tallest buildings" lists under these circumstances. postdlf (talk) 01:40, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Can't see how this is notable enough for its own lift.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:02, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't believe the lack of references at this time is an adequate reason on its own to delete the article. Surely there is some record, perhaps at the city hall. Matchups 21:51, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * If we have to compile this data ourselves because no secondary source ever has, and if we have to dig through public archives to locate the data in the first place, then I can't see how this is a topic we should be covering. And even though we can compare heights to tell that one building is taller than another, we'd have to make our own judgments about whether our research has been comprehensive enough (and that we are comparing the right figures from building to building), which would slide this into WP:OR. postdlf (talk) 16:18, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
