Support There's little on the building's history outside of its initial construction (though still notable). The collapse is the major thing this will be known for, so the merge makes sense. --

Not sure what this has to do with 9/11, other than being a building collapse. I have removed a comparison to 9/11 in the body as it is irrelevant to this article (and also violates
WP:SYN unless RSs are explicitly making the comparison).

That was exactly what Adam and I were expecting. As for what this has to do with 9/11, see
here. Basically, people arguing about whether the towers collapsed because of the fires following the plane crashes or because explosives had been planted in them beforehand have renewed this battle in every subsequent instance of a fire in a tall high-rise, such as the
Windsor Tower in Madrid, where the Truthers were like "
See! See! It didn't collapse after a 20-hour fire.
Pwn3d!" The rather different outcome of this one is likely to be taken as facial evidence for the skeptical view, so the truthers will of course find all sorts of reasons why not. And of course some of them are likely to decide to edit this article so they can then immediately link to it from forums ... Sources will be cited, but they will not be reliable ones.

Well that's the 'neutrality point of view' of Wikipedia, of course. To kidding the 'truthers' who even not came in to discuss the matters. Well, the fact is, and you can find it in the news, that in Plasco buildings there WERE explosions, as witnessed by firemen involved and video-recording. I don't say that those explosions were 'controlled demolition' but it is known that the Plasco had a lot of fuel tanks and gas bottles inside. One of the firefighters, interviewed in Iran, stated that the fire was almost doomed when a strong explosion led the building to failure. So what kind of 'truth' the debunking not-so-neutral POV made by wikipedia are speaking about? The problem is entirely in the debunkers side, that cleary rules in wikipedia, but discussions like the one made by Daniel Case shows accurately how wikipedia as a 'NPOV' about anything of 9/11. A simple question? Wikipedia is owns by US government, or it is allowed to say anything else rather the 'ufficial story' made by GBW adiminstration? And this is not a simple question to Mongo or other 'loyalists', but the wikipedia as a whole.

Gallery
The gallery contains random images ranging from a scale model before construction, the building in the 1960s (both interior and exterior), to the 2017 fire (various stages). It should be removed from the article as an indiscriminate assortment of images per
WP:IG. (Pinging editors who've added and removed it @
GTVM92 and
Continentaleurope:) –

Being "various aspects" rather than concentrating on any specific aspect (which the guideline says, should also ideally be the heading of the gallery) is exactly what makes it indiscriminate. The only common denominator to these images is the building itself; "a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject" (
WP:IG) is not allowed. –

I would agree to include some of them but not at this stage since the article is too short. I am sure it can be expanded. Until then do not add the pics. I am sure those who want them are in good faith and have good reasons but please do not for now.

I removed the following sentence "The commission that was appointed by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to investigate the incident—which includes seven engineers and three non-engineers—is now charged with releasing an official report in the end of March 2017.
[1]" Since the link is a pdf of a report by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, not a reliable source. No objection to reinserting the sentence if a reliable source can be found. --
