There is only one building over 100 meters. Also, the article does not seem to meet WP:NLIST/WP:GNG. Also, there is a new rule in Durham that limits buildings to 300 feet or 27 stories, so it is unlikely that more building above 100 meters will be built.^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by City Dweller 2 (talk • contribs) 22:02, December 9, 2022 (UTC)

Comment Completing nomination on behalf of the tagger--above text is copied from the article talk page. I have no opinion of my own at this time. @City Dweller 2: For future nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. Thank you. --Finngall ^talk 06:01, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently leaning Weak Keep because I believe that the list scrapes by WP:NLIST and WP:GNG, although some more coverage would be welcomed. More advice for nom (pinging nom @City Dweller 2:) in future; make it a bit clear where and how the article violates the policies you have broken, because it is not very clear in your submission. Also, the contents of the list (the height of the buildings or new city rules) are not considered in AfD unless they directly affect policy, which they don't.

delete Yet another list copied from Emporis, where the fact that a church tower is #6 on the list is a bad sign. These buildings just aren't that tall. Mangoe (talk) 14:08, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing NLIST. I can find no comparable list outside of Wikipedia. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:09, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails NLIST. Only perfunctory mentions of buildings with zero in-depth coverage. BruceThomson (talk) 06:47, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Article passes WP:NLIST, but only barely. The ⬡ Bestagon^[t][c] 14:41, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as Durham, NC is especially known for its tall buildings (clearly a notable subject). Curntag (talk) 18:21, 30 December 2022 (UTC) — Curntag (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Blocked sock[reply]
- As a local to the Research Triangle, no it is not. I say baloney, provide sources if you wanna get far with that ridiculous assertion. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Note to closer, Curntag has been blocked as NOTHERE and likely sock evader. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:32, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails NLIST, I'm not seeing any coverage that groups Durham buildings in a way that discusses their respective heights. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This article's subject fails WP:NLIST, since indiscriminate database entries have no context and aren't significant coverage. I was unable to find any sources online that discuss "tallest buildings" as a group in Durham. - Aoidh (talk) 19:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Recent closures of similar lists affirms the consensus that GNG applies to these lists, and that sources must describe the heights of these buildings as a group in order to qualify (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Shreveport, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Montgomery, Alabama, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Charleston, South Carolina, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Little Rock, among others) Since GNG has not been met here, this article should be deleted. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
