I am extremely concerned about the sourcing (or lack thereof) for the information in this article. It seems to be WP:OR. From the four references provided, all of which are primary sources anyway, two of them don't work and the other two seem to link to the website for a skyscraper in Bhopal, not Amritsar. Even if we could reliably source some of these heights, we would still run into WP:SYNTH issues since there aren't any websites covering this topic as a whole. Even the exhaustive skyscraper database websites like Emporis and Skyscraperpage seem to contradict the info in this article. The article itself fails WP:LISTN for multiple reasons:

  • Firstly, the list has no navigational purpose as the overwhelming majority of the buildings featured are not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article.
  • Secondly, this topic does not have WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Database listings in Skyscraperpage and Emporis do not constitute significant coverage (and in this case the article doesn't even have that).
  • I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Amritsar' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
  • No significant high-rise buildings under construction or even planned currently so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft.
  • The whole article is currently a violation of WP:OR.
  • The city is not the largest in Punjab nor is it the capital.
  • I really do not believe that a building being taller than 30m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in Kolkata so why are we doing it here?

  • Weak delete. I'm hesitant to delete any list article for a major city of over 1 Million residents, a major international tourist destination, and the "Vatican City of the Sikhs." That having been said, I'm surprised that Amritsar has no buildings at least 60 stories tall. Also, surely some of the listed buildings must be notable. This list makes some sense. See also User:Bearian/Standards#Notability_of_skyscrapers. Let's seek (pardon the pun) additional voices to avoid WP:BIAS. Bearian (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Amritsar should be large enough population wise to have one of these articles, but I can't find sourcing. SportingFlyer T·C 22:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Article does not meet WP:LISTN, WP:RS do not discuss this as a group and the city is not notable for tall buildings. List does not meet the purposes of WP:CLN, none of the buildings are notable.   // Timothy :: talk  04:13, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
