The result was redirect to List of tallest buildings in Dubai. As long as this topic is mentioned at the proposed target, the argument against a redirect is very weak; but if consensus is established against that content, the redirect could probably be disposed of.

No refs on the page, no substantive edits for many years. Seems like a non-notable building in Dubai, I don't see any coverage that would meet the GNG. JMWt ( talk) 06:23, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. There only seems to be trivial mention of the subject. Lack enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Tutwakhamoe ( talk) 21:32, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect, or Merge or simply Keep. It is an item in
List of tallest buildings in Dubai, linked on its page, so there should at least be a redirect, preserving the page history in case of more development and sources. Call it "Merge" if this has any information not there. This AFD should not have been proposed; AFD is for actual deletions and clearly that is not appropriate.
wp:MERGE proposal would have been okay. --Doncram (

- 1. Being in a WP list doesn't make it notable
- 2. The relevant standard is the WP:GNG, which you need to address if you have valid reasons to vote !keep
- 3. You've not supplied anything to show why a merge or redirect is relevant. JMWt ( talk) 06:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 01:30, 20 May 2023 (UTC)- To respond to User:JMWt, with the basics of what a redirect is: a redirect, at least makes sense, to provide information to readers looking for the topic. The list-article row directly provides information, in context (and sometimes/often it is more informative for coverage of a topic to be within a list-article, as relative matters, context gives more than what a short individual stub can provide. A redirect clarifies that Wikipedia does not have an article on the topic under any name variation. The use of redirect provides edit history and enables restoration and expansion in the future if coverage/sources warrant, with adherence to the promise of Wikipedia that editors' writing will be credited to them. These are basics of Wikipedia. If you don't understand, perhaps your asking questions at
wp:TEAHOUSE would help you. --Doncram (

- I don't need the personal attacks thanks. It is a fact, not an opinion, that in AfD debates you need to address the GNG. Just repeating that WP:ILIKEIT is not much of a contribution to the debate. JMWt ( talk) 14:56, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Yet another non-notable unbuilt building. Oppose redirecting since these never-built projects IMO shouldn't even be listed there. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
