List of tallest buildings in Portland, Oregon edit

Featured list removal candidates/List of tallest buildings in Portland, Oregon/archive1

Notified: WikiProject Skyscrapers, WikiProject Architecture

I am not actually nominating this list for removal but instead for a reassessment, and I hope this nomination ends with a "Keep" consensus. Since its promotion to a featured status, this page had changed substantially and was in a sorry state. I updated it, removed unsourced statements, introduced a clickable skyline image, and changed its structure per my standardization efforts. I'm looking for comments on those changes, and I hope the list's featured status will be affirmed. If this is not the place to seek help in such cases like this one, please feel free to tell me what courses of action I should take in the future – for example updating the article after nominating it for featured list removal or mass removing lists in a similar state and then nominating them for a featured status.

Comments from Sportsguy17

For the "Tallest Under Construction" section, it would be nice to add a source for each of the other three buildings under construction.

It wasn't me who added these buildings, and I couldn't find a source for Multnomah County Courthouse's height (the other two buildings are under 250 feet so they shouldn't be in the table anyway), so I removed them. Sandvich18 (talk) 23:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to add a "Tallest approved or proposed" section? Some other tallest building FLs contain this, albeit it is not required.

I believe such a section is against WP:CRYSTAL and WP:N, and I remove it from the lists I work on. Most of the proposed or approved buildings are never built and keeping each list up-to-date would be significantly more difficult were they to be included in the article.

(Optional) Include a section breaking down the tallest building in each neighborhood of the city of Portland.

That's a neat idea, I'll try to implement it. Sandvich18 (talk) 23:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hope these suggestions help out. Beyond that, I think the list looks good. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 20:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments! :) Sandvich18 (talk) 23:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, Sandvich18! I too hope that these articles can retain FL status. You did a very good job making the necessary changes before coming here. On my second comment, I partly agree to disagree on this one. If the information is verifiable, I don't think WP:CRYSTAL necessarily applies, albeit I do not believe that it adds much, so I'm not opposed to excluding that bit from the article.

I've just added a section listing tallest buildings in Portland by district. Sandvich18 (talk) 17:31, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

With the changes made, I think this article is a pretty obvious Keep. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 17:57, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as keep- seeing as this was a reassessment, not a removal candidate, I'm fine not holding out for multiple reviewers trying to help "fix" it. --Pres N 02:53, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been kept, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through.
