I know that there is no definite line drawn as to when "List of tallest buildings in ___" become notable or not notable. I would say, however, that wherever we draw that line, this article must fall short of those standards. It 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.
  • I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Saguenay' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
  • No 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:NOTMIRROR as it is a copy and paste from Skyscraperpage
  • The city is only the fifth largest in Quebec and isn't the capital so no reason for an article to exist on its not-very-tall buildings

  • delete Well, this is going to be another case of a do-over of a mass delete to get rid of a lot of make-work one by one instead of all at once. The problem is the same: a list of run-of-the-mill buildings, none of which are particularly tall. And it needs to be said that this article would need to be constantly updated from skyscraperpage.com (the only source) every time a new building goes up in this city—assuming that they even are a reliable source, as I would not be surprised to learn that they are crowd-sourced too.

  • Delete This doesn't seem notable as a subject outside of a single website, which it seems to be a mirror of, and Wikipedia isn't a directory. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Fails WP:LISTN does not have WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS discussing this as a group. The city is not notable for tall buildings and the buildings are not notably tall. The list does not meet WP:CLN, there is nothing there that can assist in navigation.   // Timothy :: talk  14:12, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
