List of tallest buildings in Oakland, California

 * Nominator(s): — Chris! c / t 22:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC) & User:Hydrogen Iodide

I am nominating my first tallest buildings list and I think it fulfills the FL criteria. — Chris! c / t 22:22, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: I am aware of the criteria regarding red links. I am reluctant to create extremely short stubs for shorter, less notable buildings, but I will do so if requested.— Chris! c / t 00:05, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Comment - Looking over the history of the article, User:Hydrogen Iodide should also get credit for this nomination, as he was also a primary contributor to the article. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:50, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Comments from WFCforLife


 * I'm not asking for the redlinked articles to be created. Indeed, the creation of articles for the sake of an FLC is a bad thing in my opinion. But I'm wondering if some of them should be linked at all? Oakland is a city of around 500,000 people, and it strikes me as somewhat surprising that it would have that many notable buildings (and that's ignoring the fact that there are several notable buildings that aren't skyscrapers).
 * I have tried finding an articles to link the building to,but I don't see anything.— Chris! c / t 19:10, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there a speific guideline that relates to buildings? I just find it difficult to believe that every high-rise in the world warrants an article. WFCforLife (talk) 13:14, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, so I can remove the red links. I don't know of any guideline specifically— Chris! c / t 02:35, 1 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Drive-by from KV5
 * I like the panorama too, I think it's a great idea, but it's even wider than my widescreen monitor. It may need to be made scrollable in consideration of WP:ACCESS. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 12:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Comment - "feet (m)" should be "feet (meters)" or "ft (m)". -- SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  23:52, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Done— Chris! c / t 00:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, per WP:MOSNUM the conversion is always abbreviated, so I undid this edit. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:03, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I didn't know that.— Chris! c / t 02:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
