Supreme Court of Pakistan Building

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article gives no indication that the building itself is significant either through WP:GEOFEAT or WP:GNG. The two references it gives fail WP:42, one is merely a Google Maps entry and the other is affiliated. The design paragraph is also weasel-worded e.g. "reputed".

 * Keep. WP:GEOFEAT references the "historic, social, economic, or architectural importance" of buildings as reasons to keep; the building erected to house the supreme court of a country, and in use for that purpose for over 50 years, should inherently meet the first three. The fact that sources were easily found indicating that the architecture of this building represented a decided effort to break from the past architecture of the country should also meet the fourth. bd2412  T 20:00, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:COMMONSENSE; the seat of a nation's highest court doesn't usually need much more than a basic description of the building to earn a keep. GEOFEAT additionally seals it.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:10, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: "The building was part of an effort by the government of Pakistan to incorporate modernism into the architecture of important government buildings, for which several world-renowned architects were invited..." I would agree that WP:GEOFEAT applies in this case; it seems a landmark modernist work, both literally and figuratively. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:16, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The Supreme Court of Pakistan article is on the court, whereas this is on the building which houses that court and its architecture. As it is one of the prominent buildings of Islamabad, it should be kept.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 05:15, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
