[edit] Opernturm

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

Non-notable skyscraper that is still under construction. speedy tag was removed four times by author, they stated they wouldn't remove it again, after which it was removed by an anon. Improbcat 14:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Improbcat 14:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I fail to see why this is a non-notable building. RandomCritic 14:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
• Tentative keep I don't really know what consensus Wikipedia has come to about the notability of buildings (if any), but it seems to me that one of the tallest buildings in Germany should be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, even if it is not quite completed yet.

• Strong keep. Skyscrapers are notable even while they're being built (see Burj Dubai). This will be the 6th tallest building in Germany when completed. --Targeman 14:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, a building this prominent should be easily sourced. --Dhartung | Talk 19:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above. See also Shard London Bridge, Broadgate Tower, Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project, Louisville Museum Plaza, George W. Bush Presidential Library, Pentominium, and the Super Power Building. wikipediatrix 19:45, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
• Obvious Keep which helps explain why the entirely inappropriate speedy tag kept being removed. This is a major building (558 feet tall) in a major German city, of course it's notable. Nick mallory 00:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Tag was repeatedly removed by the creator of the article, then after the creator said they would no longer remove it, it was removed by an anon account which only edited that article (making me strongly suspect the creator had logged out then continued to remove tags and edit their article). The speedy deletion tag specifically says for the creator to not remove the tag. Thus the sending to AfD. Improbcat 23:09, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
