[edit] No Merge

There is an article titled "dome" which is universally recognized as having a right to exist as an independent article, hence we have every reason to assume that an article concerning the "world's largest domes" has every right to exist as an independent article, too. Please refrain from trying to subordinate this article to another one where it simply does not belong to. Regards Gun Powder Ma 22:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I am proposing the merger now instead of being bold and merging it myself. The world's largest building article has enough space to where this can be a section of it. It will be more visible if it is on world's largest buildings then it is here as this page has currently no links on the major search engines while the largest building article has 160 according to http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HLPC/index.php --JEF 14:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I am against the proposal for the above reason. We need one article for each topic, and not a hyperlong article on such an overly broad concept as "The world's largest building", under which very different buildings are stuffed indiscriminately. This is very much against common WP practice. Regards Gun Powder Ma 22:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

If this article were really a list of the world's largest domes, I think it would fit well in the List of largest buildings in the world. However, its first list is a list of domes that have held the title "world's largest dome" at some point in history; it is not a list of the largest domes currently. It also contains several ancillary lists, such as largest domes by structural type, largest domes by continent, and other famous domes (which seems out of the scope of the article title, but whatever). So I would suggest not merging. Agyle 23:43, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

NO MERGE. A dome is a part of a building while all of the sections in the List of largest buildings in the world deal with complete buildings. Domes do not belong there. Perhaps someday there will be a "List of world's largest building parts" and we can include largest domes, along with largest roof, largest archway, largest window, largest room, etc. Until then, List of world's largest domes should remain an independent article.
