The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Even if the nomination is inaccurate, editors have presented valid arguments for deletion later. The request to keep the talk page discussion as a record of a page move discussion that also applied to other pages is reasonable so I'll leave it.

Does not meet WP:LISTN as almost all of these buildings are not notable and none of them are notable for height. Also, relies on a single source which is WP:UGC and therefore not reliable. Rusf10 (talk) 14:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. LISTN is about whether the group or set has been the subject or coverage, not whether any or all of the individual members of that group or set are notable. So you have not yet presented a valid deletion argument. postdlf (talk) 15:04, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Show me a reliable source that covers the building as a group.--Rusf10 (talk) 16:02, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did you intend to present a claim on that issue? postdlf (talk) 16:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just did.--Rusf10 (talk) 20:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Look, if you want to nominate something for deletion, it's up to you to plainly state what your argument is, and to make sure your argument is actually valid. Your nomination claimed a guideline was not satisfied "because" of observations that had nothing to do with that guideline, which is what my comment pointed out to you. You're welcome. Now try harder. postdlf (talk) 21:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete 48 m is fairly short by modern standards, and Gary, Indiana is a fairly small city. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 15:48, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Save the talk page. There is a 2016 multi-move request on the talk page that is linked from numerous similar talk pages. It should be preserved somewhere. Station1 (talk) 22:05, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete When your tallest building is only 12 stories, you don't deserve a list of tall buildings. No sources discussing the topic of tall of buildings in Gary because there aren't any... Reywas92^Talk 18:34, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, does not meet WP:LISTN, no sources provided that discuss this group, or part of it, any notable buildings here can be included at Gary, Indiana. And what is it about this obsession with tallest buildings, why not "Buildings in ...."? buildings don't have to be tall to be notable, and groups of buildings arent necessarily precluded from sources just because they are not tall.

Comment- This AfD was added to the Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list by user:Andrew Davidson.--Rusf10 (talk) 03:34, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A search failed to return any RS coverage of tall buildings in Gary, therefore the list fails WP:LISTN. Article contains no reliably-sourced content that could be merged. –dlthewave ☎ 12:37, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
