List of tallest buildings in Springfield, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The fact that none of these buildings appear in List of tallest buildings in Missouri speaks volumes.

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 and Skyscraperpage do not constitute significant coverage.
 * I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Springfield, Missouri' 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 Missouri nor is it the capital.
 * I really do not believe that a building being taller than 30m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in Chicago or Atlanta so why are we doing it here?
 * This currently violates WP:NOTMIRROR as the article mostly mirrors Emporis and Skyscraperpage.

 * Delete. None of the buildings listed is exceptional. None have articles about them. The two or three tallest buildings could be mentioned in the article about Springfield, Missouri and that would be quite sufficient. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:53, 5 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  17:30, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, WP:SNOW, and my standards for such lists. Technically, Springfield, Illinois could be considered a tourist destination (at least for me - it's on my bucket list - and other Lincoln Highway and Route 66 nerds), has over 116, 000 residents, and is the capital of that state. However, no building is especially tall or notable. In context, the list doesn't make sense to me. Bearian (talk) 20:26, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
