Maine State Building (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This building isn't notable. Eggy49er 19:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


  • Weak keep, seems marginally notable to me. Changing to keep per Dhartung and Eddie's additions. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:19, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, one of the few surviving structures from the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the last great World's Fair. Structure is on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974.[1] Designed by Charles Sumner Frost, a Chicago architect[2] who should have an article but does not.--Dhartung | Talk 19:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- per Dhartung. --Boricuaeddie 20:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment- I've added the references provided by Dhartung to the article. --Boricuaeddie 20:09, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Historic buildings are prime encyclopedia fodder. —Xezbeth 20:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable building. Golfcam 23:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per listing on the National Register of Historic Places. A cursory Google search would have revealed, within the first or second pages, that the building is listed on the National Register and is indeed historic and notable. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 03:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Golfcam, Elkman, Dhartung, and Boricuaeddie, and WP:HEY. I also wikified it a bit. Bearian 14:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
