List of tallest structures in Yugoslavia

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I used to think that this list would be a nice historical list, but people keep adding modern-day structures to it, so it becomes a hodgepodge of anachronistic information. The navbox it's in says it's about a "region", but unfortunately, the former Yugoslav region is not a well-defined region in Europe so this is rather moot. But most importantly, it looks like the list itself is still a WP:SYNTH violation - the article doesn't reference secondary sources that talk about lists of structures in Yugoslavia, it's just a bit of original research by overzealous Wikipedia editors. Ultimately, I don't really think there's any typical English readers who would ask the question "what were the tallest structures in a specific multi-ethnic country that had existed in the 20th century in the Balkans", so this is generally pointless. If there was an article about architecture in Yugoslavia that went into detail about this general topic, this might be a nice addendum, but as is, it's just weird.

 * Comment before we proceed with deletion, would it make sense to take it apart and create per-republic lists of tallest structures? Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia and Slovenia only have pages for tallest buildings. Serbia has a page for tallest structures, just a quick check is needed whether all of them are there. Finally, Kosovo has both and Montenegro has neither. -Vipz (talk) 02:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If the content from here can be used there, sure. I'm not sure if each of those topics is necessarily verifiable and notable, though. Is there secondary source coverage for this in turn? In either case, it's easy to preserve the content outside of article space for later. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 06:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Split and delete per above. -Vipz (talk) 13:57, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that the architecture link turned blue, so there is an article about the more general topic, but it doesn't mention height of structures at all, so if there's some sources to discuss that, a section can be started there perhaps. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 06:37, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It turned blue because I remembered that the article for architecture of Yugoslavia existed, and made architecture in Yugoslavia a redirect to it. I think it would be fine to have a paragraph or section dealing with tallest structures/buildings in that article - just like this one does. -Vipz (talk) 00:10, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there are more similar lists of other countries then nominate them too for deletion. Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 06:22, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The only other former country with such list is Soviet Union: List of tallest structures built in the Soviet Union. -Vipz (talk) 00:02, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * If it can be kept as a list that only includes structure built during Yugoslav times, Keep. If it is just an aggregation of tallest structure lists in all the successor states, then Delete. The Soviet Union list Vipz linked seems like a useful article. -- Local hero talk 21:09, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The key difference is that Soviet Union was a global superpower, so even relatively niche aspects of it can be presumed to be notable. SFRY, not so much. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 21:40, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
