Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prospect Tower (Milwaukee)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Sourcing suggested to exist has never been sufficient to keep, but there's not a particularly strong delete consensus here either, but I find one exists. Star  Mississippi  02:16, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Prospect Tower (Milwaukee)

I see nothing notable about this building, a WP:MILL apartment building. Even the article characterizes it as "one of several large apartment buildings on Prospect Avenue".

 * Keep WP:MILL is just an essay. I've added a reference, which refers to a newspaper article from construction. While I haven't been able to find any newspaper coverage with newspapers.com, the source I added suggests that it does exist. Thus, I think there is enough coverage out there to meet WP:GNG.

 * Delete. This is a building entirely undistinguished on its own, entirely lacking in independent notability. WP:MILL expands fairly well on what is trivially non-notable but we do not need it to see what is not going on. We find no sources; we only find "there-must-be-sources" type of arguments. And claims that "it exists". -The Gnome (talk) 19:34, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Celebrated architecture? No. Outstanding of its kind? As pointed out above, 'one of a number' so, No. Fails WP:GNG? Yes. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:44, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * None of those things has anything to do with GNG... NemesisAT (talk) 12:24, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't say they did. It's not architecturally significant, it's not outstanding AND it fails WP:GNG. Trust that's clearer. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
