One Wachovia Center (Charlotte, North Carolina)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete no indication that this building is notable, 3rd highest in a mid-sized city really doesn't cut it, and if kept it needs a major clean-up from what appears to be a phonetic attempt at Southern US English - "Refrance" for "Reference".... Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Gets a lot of hits, but nothing seems to assert notability. It's just another office tower. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Mid size city! Charrlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in America. Also you are saying that B0ston, Seattle, and Washington are mid sized cities to (by city limits). It also has a bigger metro than Nashville. If the Wachovia Center in Winston-Salem at around 450ft deserves an article, why doesent this?

 * Delete I've looked and looked, and other than what appears to be a pretty minor award that doesn't appear to have anything to do with architecture, I see no sign of any particular notability. Even the property manager can't come up with anything to say in the that light, and if they can't who can? Mangoe (talk) 00:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I came across this when I was new change patrolling and AA had just started it...it started me on a voyage to attempt to make sense of the seemingly endless number of buildings/companies/sports arenas wich Wachovia in the name. I would suggest we keep it only to help people who are also trying to figure out what's what. I've tried to make sense of the various entries on WP here: Wachovia (disambiguation) Legotech &middot;( t )&middot;( c ) 00:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, third-tallest building in the 20th largest US city is a respectable claim to notability, I think. According to Emporis, it was the tallest in all of North Carolina for a few years. Zagalejo^^^ 04:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Though, if I'm reading this correctly, it used to be known as One First Union: Zagalejo^^^ 05:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, "when it opened, One First Union was the tallest building in the Southeast", presumably topping even Atlanta. (For historical reasons North Carolina and Charlotte have been banking centers.) --Dhartung | Talk 07:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No offense to those south of the Potomac, but I think "southeast" and even more so "North Carolina" are pretty small ponds to be big fish in. Acto our own listings it isn't even within the fifty tallest buildings within the country. Mangoe (talk) 19:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Being taller than any building in Atlanta or Miami (see links) is very significant and noteworthy. --Oakshade (talk) 00:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The tallest building in a large region is certainly notable, so it was notable in 1988, and once notable, always notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Was the tallest building in the entire region when it opened and for many years. Along with its former name, First Union Tower, it was the subject of multiple secondary sources  --Oakshade (talk) 23:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep At 700 000 in the city proper and well over 2 million in the metro, this is hardly a mid-size city. One of the tallest buildings in the area and in the Carolinas region, does mean that it has more notability.-- JForget 02:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: As a Charlotte-area resident, yeah, it's a neat building. But on the global scale of Wikipedia, it simply lacks the notability for the encyclopedia. Justin Eiler (talk) 18:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: notable as the third highest building in Charlotte, formerly the first highest building, in addition to being the world headquarters for the fourth largest bank in the United States. Major cleanup completed.
