List of tallest buildings in Victoria, British Columbia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Yet another tallest building list whose message is "nothing in this city is very tall." I can see taking a small part of this list and putting it in the main article for the city, but not a separate list. Mangoe (talk) 22:35, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The 'tallness' of buildings has nothing to do with the notability of an article. Besides that, I think these are fine as they basically catalog the notable buildings in a city that wouldn't otherwise merit much of an article on their own.

 * The very title of the article asserts that these buildings are notable for being tall, and in any case plenty of buildings are of note in a general sense simply because they are among the tallest anywhere. So I have to disagree with your first sentence. And not looking at the article this instant, I have to doubt whether very many of these are of any real note, and certainly not for their height. Besides, a list of notable buildings is obviously not the same as a list of those that are tall. Mangoe (talk) 06:07, 2 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - 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, Citified and Skyscraperpage do not constitute significant coverage. Thirdly, I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Victoria' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources Spiderone  10:25, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: in my opinion, whether a city gets its own list of tallest building depends on how notable that city is. There are many cities in the world where height is either restricted by regulations or natural disasters. If we use the height as a standard, then you likely will have to delete many other articles around the world regarding the similar lists (such as Template:Tallest buildings in Canada). This article is quite well written and Victoria is certainly a notable Canadian city that will in the future, inevitably build more taller buildings.Jjj84206 (talk) 01:55, 6 November 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 (no offense Victoria ;). The list does not meet WP:CLN, there is nothing there that can assist in navigation.  // Timothy ::  talk  13:52, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
