Per extensive recent consensus on these types of lists, they must meet WP:NLIST/ WP:GNG. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Shreveport and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Montgomery, Alabama which both closed as clear delete, with closure statements refuting the argument that any other criteria takes precedence over notability for these lists. The recent delete consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Charleston, South Carolina affirms the consensus from the prior two discussions.

These closures clearly confirm the community's mindset about "tallest buildings" lists - sources are required, and notability standards must be met. I was not able to locate any significant coverage of the topic of tall buildings in Little Rock, Arkansas as a whole, so in my opinion, GNG/NLIST is not met. ♠ PMC(talk) 06:23, 3 December 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - as we've too many of these 'list' articles. Note, I'm not a republican, to boot. I love skyscrapers, because tall towers and skyscrapers, but we might also have other buildings that is not skyscrapers. Should we have articles called "list of tallest buildings in France" or "list of tallest buildings in Indonesia"? Or a list of official languages of the European Union or a list of words in Italian? I struggle to think so. This list is getting absurd, just a junk of trivial, unsourced, and unlinked collections. CPORfan ( talk) 07:47, 4 December 2022 (UTC) reply
    Aaaa...I don't want to argue with someone who's agreeing with me in general, but we do actually have both those lists, and more. (See Template:Tallest buildings and structures - there's about 80 national-level lists). Lists at the national level are a lot more likely to have significant coverage than lists for most individual towns and cities. As well, the tallest buildings at the national level are more likely to be notable, so those lists do a more practical job of actually being navigational aids. My beef isn't with all of these lists - or lists in general! - it's just with ones that don't have adequate sourcing to support the notability of the topic.
    (As a nitpicky side note, a list of words in Italian would be off-scope for Wikipedia, so it's a bit of a straw man. List of languages of the European Union doesn't exist, but languages of the European Union does, and it's actually a pretty good article.) ♠ PMC(talk) 09:01, 4 December 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - This will be the fifth "list of tallest building in X" AfD that I've commented on and unfortunately I've suggested "Delete" on all of them and all for the same reason: like the others, this article fails WP:NLIST, as sources do not discuss "tallest buildings in Little Rock" as a group. I feel like a broken record but there's only so many ways to say "Fails WP:NLIST". - Aoidh ( talk) 16:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC) reply
