I am not actually nominating this list for removal but instead for a reassessment, and I hope this nomination ends with a "Keep" consensus. Since its promotion to a featured status, this page had changed substantially and was in a sorry state. I updated it, removed unsourced statements, introduced a clickable skyline image, and changed its structure per my standardization efforts. I'm looking for comments on those changes, and I hope the list's featured status will be affirmed. Sandvich18 (talk) 14:36, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not bad in its current state actually. The only problem I have is that there seems to be a mix of units in the lead, the first cut off is 200 feet, but the second cut off is 150m. Is there a reason those numbers were selected? Mattximus (talk) 16:10, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- 200 ft was chosen arbitrarily, 150 m is the height commonly featured in building statistics on CTBUH's Skyscraper Center (see Tulsa's page for example). Sandvich18 (talk) 16:20, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmmm this page does need a bit of work. I clicked on the very first link, and it says there are 23 high rises, but the sentence in the text says 25.... Mattximus (talk) 00:57, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Some high-rises appear only in one database. Three buildings listed in the article can't be found on CTBUH's site. The number in the text should actually be 26 as one building is missing. Sandvich18 (talk) 09:49, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a problem, since you quote a number, but that number is not found in any of the sources provided. For better or for worse, wikipedia policy is to conduct no original research, and just report what we find in sources. So I guess we need to find a better source for this number.

- It's impossible to do source the number of buildings in the lead in any "List of tallest buildings in ..." article without leaving some buildings out of the list. I believe this insignificant level of original research is appropriate and can only benefit the reader. Sandvich18 (talk) 18:45, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Director note – This has been here for a couple of months now and activity seems to have stalled. The editor who was working on the article hasn't edited in over a month, and the sentence with the OR is still in the first sentence. Does anybody else have any thoughts to help move this along?

- Weak delist the main table fails MOS:ACCESS but seems to have been updated. A shame, it's not quite there. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:59, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sandvich18: I saw that you were on a couple weeks ago; are you still working on this list? If not, this is going to be closed as delisted in the near future. --PresN 17:18, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Closing as removed. --PresN 19:50, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
