[edit] Telecommunications Tower

Telecommunications Tower (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Second listing for this office tower. The article does not cite any verfiable claim to notability, but I can tell you that it was designed by same firm architects responsible for the Opéra Bastille. My view is that WP is not a real estate listing site, and without secondary sources, this type of article should be discouraged. --Gavin Collins 22:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Architecture-related deletions. —Gavin Collins 22:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is not the "second listing" for this article, it's the first. The AfD you cited was for Telecommunications Complex and the result of that AfD (which was closed literally within the last 24 hours) was to redirect to this article. Now you want to delete this one? Spanish Wikipedia has an even larger article on this topic and this was the subject of multiple secondary sources, like from El Espectador [1][2] and La Capital [3]. And being designed by the same person who designed the Opéra Bastille is another good reason to keep this. --Oakshade 23:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I note that the Spanish WP entry does not cite any sources either. Is there any proof that it is the tallest building or is that just hearsay? --Gavin Collins 18:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Response - I didn't even mention the tallest building in Uraguay claim, but that is 100% verifiable. Even if it isn't the tallest (I think it is), that is not a valid reason to delete this article. --Oakshade 20:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The tallest building in the country must be notable! --Malcolmxl5 00:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, article claims it to be the tallest building in Uruguay, and judging from the pic, it's the tallest thing around. SolidPlaid 02:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The tallest building in a country is notable.--Cube lurker 13:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and source using above references (and/or others) as they seem to satisfy both WP:N and WP:RS. (This also fits in pretty well with combating bias, especially as it is verifiable and notable.) --Craw-daddy | T | 22:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Even if not the tallest, its the HQ of the National Telecoms company and the subject of controversy over the finances of its building. Or is this another case of because you are not interested in the subject it must be non-notable and worthy of deletion.KTo288 01:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
