The fact that 30m is the bar set for 'tall' here says it all really. 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 Thunder Bay' 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:NOTMIRROR as it is almost entirely a copy and paste from Skyscraperpage.
The city is not the largest in Ontario 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 Vancouver and Montreal so why are we doing it here?

Delete, these buildings are not characterized by being tall, as they are not in fact tall. Geschichte (talk) 11:25, 10 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 on the list are not notably tall. The list does not meet WP:CLN, it does not assist in navigation, and does not serve any purpose under WP:AOAL. // Timothy :: talk 14:47, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, and as failing my own standards for tall buildings. Bearian (talk) 17:02, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
