CLOSED, NOMINATION WITHDRAWN AFTER COMMENT ON THE PROCESS BELOW This article is different from the one nominated for deletion about a year ago. It no longer has a list of survivors' names. The main body of the text describes how few survived and where they were located in the building. This could be easily merged with the main article or the WTC article. I am not aware of any reason why this needs to be a separate article, though this AFD could offer explanations.

There is no political agenda for the AFD. I am not trying to eliminate information about 9-11 nor am I opposed to mention of survivors or lack of survivors.

This article doesn't seem to meet WP criteria for people, i.e. notability. Nor does it meet the requirements of criminal acts, which is covered by the main articles. This article doesn't offer any information which a merge could not accomplish.

At this point, I recommend and merge and redirect. Editors who have worked hard on this should be encouraged to continue to do so after the merge, if that's what is decided. Chergles (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This is Articles for deletion. It is not Requests for comment.  Please don't nominate articles here unless an administrator hitting a delete button is actually what you want.  Deletion forms no part of the article merger process.  If you want an article merged, the correct tags are mergefrom and mergeto.  afd1 is not the tool for every job.

 * Oh, I see. I saw people vote "merge/redirect" so I thought one could AFD it.  I will withdraw . Chergles (talk) 23:03, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep People who want information on a subject like this don't have a lot of places to look, therefore Wikipedia should have lists like these to supply interested people with relevant information. A merge would only clutter associated articles. Master&amp;Expert  ( Talk ) 21:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep seems to be a valid article. DGG (talk) 22:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
