I don't think that this is a valid candidate for speedy deletion. The building is real and notable. I'll have a go at cleaning it up and checking its accuracy. --Apyule 12:33, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Size

"the physical size of the Pacific island state is less than half that of Nauru House's the floor space"

This sounds too peculiar to be true, and it probably is. The area of Nauru is 21 km2, equal to 21 million m2. The floor space of Nauru house is listed as 50,500m2. So somebody forgot three zeroes before they made this allegation. --Sasper 21:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] how to write a correction

(It was widely thought that the physical size of the Pacific island state is less than half that of Nauru House's the floor space. This is in fact incorrect, as 1 sq km = 1 000 000 sq m and the island is 21 sq km which equates to 21 000 000 sq m. The building therefore only makes up 0.24% of Nauru's land area)

Fine, I was wrong. But it was never "widely thought" 13:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How many storeys?

• Walking Melbourne "number of floors: 52" and "49 storey building"
• Emporis "Floors (OG) 50"
• QIC "51 levels" --Melburnian (talk) 03:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
