World Federation of Great Towers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable organisation. The towers themselves are not "members" of the organisation in any meaningful sense; they are added to this "Federation", which is basically a marketing promotion, by sending US$1500 to a P.O. box in Australia. This is not a list of notable towers or especially tall towers; that is at List of tallest buildings in the world. The marketing organisation has succeeded in getting various towers' "membership" mentioned in the press, but there is no significant coverage of the organisation itself, and notability is not inherited. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The dutch version of the article was nominated by me on nl.wiki, for similar reasons. Reliable secondary sources are not to be found, notability is lacking, promotion is clearly taking place (initiated by wikipedia though) -> WFGT does not deserve an article.
