P-17 (Dubai)

 * – (View AfD (View log  •  AfD statistics)

Proposed building in Dubai that has no reliable sources for notability. Given the economic climate in Dubai, this building will never get built. Deprodded. Glittering Pillars (talk) 04:55, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I've added a couple of reliable sources to the article. "...will never get built" is not a reason to delete an article.  Astronaut (talk) 04:01, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If one examines the sources, one finds that they all use the same text, as does this; http://www.worldarab.net/content/p-17. This means that there is only one source, and that the copy was written by the developers. Let me be blunt; even if built, this building does not have adequate sourcing to remain on Wikipedia. Even if one accepts this one source, it is a just a description of a proposed building. Glittering Pillars (talk) 21:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. The issue regarding sources has been resolved. The idea that it won't be built because of the economy is pure speculation. We've got an economic crisis here in the Netherlands and, they literally can't stop building. I see building sites and construction workers wherever I go. I don't see why Dubai would be any different. - Mgm|(talk) 10:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not just the fact that we are arguing over a non-existent building, it's that there are not enough independent sources attesting to the notability. Glittering Pillars (talk) 21:39, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
