List of tallest buildings in Sarasota

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This would be a PROD in usual circumstances but, since some of the people that created the article are still active users, they may wish to make a keep argument.

This 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 Emporis, Skyscrapernews and Skyscraperpage do not constitute significant coverage.
 * I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Sarasota' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
 * No significant high-rise building under construction so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft.
 * The city is not the largest in Florida nor is it the capital.
 * This city has fewer than 60 000 residents. A stand-alone article makes no sense.
 * I really do not believe that a building being taller than 46m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in Tampa so why are we doing it here?

 * Comment - in my opinion, this should be deleted as per the same reasons as List of tallest buildings in Bradenton, Florida Spiderone  09:33, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - I think that it should be kept because the buildings are actually somewhat tall. The tallest buildings in Bradenton article had buildings in it that were no where near the height of ones in Sarasota. For example, the Estonia article has some of it's top buildings as tall as those in Sarasota. In my opinion, I think the buildings heights are notable in the way that their heights are comparable to many of those in the articles for a city or a country's tallest buildings. However I don't think the structures themselves are very notable as many of them do not have their own Wikipedia pages. Seeing if a building has a Wikipedia page is a good way of vetting whether or not they are notable. Skim 13:53, 29 November (UTC)
 * Delete. The list does not contain particularly tall or notable buildings. It is also problematic in its current form, as in the text the article admits to being a mirror of Emporis. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 20:21, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree. It's a blatant violation of WP:NOTMIRROR just like several other "list of tallest buildings in ___" articles Spiderone  21:35, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Nothing in the list shows that it needs separate article. Sachin.cba (talk) 08:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above and my own standards for such lists. Bearian (talk) 02:02, 4 December 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, there is nothing there that can assist in navigation.  // Timothy ::  talk  17:27, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
