A demolished non-descript office building. None of the 11 sources provided demonstrate why this was notable. Those that are listed are incidental mentions or directory listings. Fuebaey (talk) 22:53, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. There is a much belittling language above; always telling. In fact the eleven references clearly meet the three key tenents of WP:GNG:
  1. "Significant coverage": addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research was needed to extract the content ... more than a trivial mention but need not be the main topic of the source material.
  2. "Reliable": sources have editorial integrity.
  3. "Sources" are secondary sources.

As the article creator, are you genuinely suggesting that these references: [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5] are not directory listings? Fuebaey (talk) 22:06, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear the sources are:
  1. a database of new property developments and buildings in London; as a directory, this building's inclusion is a matter of course and not a matter of notability
  2. a website dedicated to photographing every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland; this building's inclusion is a matter of course and not a matter of notability
  3. a government planning report in response to a planning submission; this is routine planning administration activity and does not denote notability
  4. some guy's blog about a pub crawl; hardly a reliable source
  5. it's a listing for a tenant in the bibliography of a book; that is hardly significant
  6. it's a listing of abbreviations of engineering bodies of which one happens to have offices in this building; again, not at all significant
  7. it's an appendix listing some funding sources of which one organisation in the list happens to have an office in the building; again, not at all significant
  8. it's yet another appendix listing which includes a building tenant; again, not at all significant
  9. this is as explicit a directory as one can get; again, not at all significant
  10. this is an archaeological report provides a passing mention; this is not significant coverage -- Whpq (talk) 01:56, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: does not meet WP:GNG; in particular, there is not significant coverage of this building. The one source not mentioned in Whpq's list is the one supporting the car parking in the basement, which is not anything notable either. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
