• Keep It is historically significant, one of Cleveland's oldest buildings, 2d tallest at the time it was built. 11kowrom 03:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I doubt it is one of the oldest buildings in Cleveland. Dunham Tavern is the oldest building in Cleveland, and it was built in 1824, more than a hundred years before Standard Building. Then there's St. John's Episcopal Church (1838), Old Stone Church (1855), Saint Ignatius High School (1886), etc. Even many of the more "modern" buildings pre-date this; May Company Ohio (1898), Cleveland Arcade (1890), Metzenbaum Courthouse (1910), Karamu House (1915), Cleveland City Hall (1916). There are many more. Masaruemoto 05:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Cleveland Landmark, and the original home of Standard Oil, later personally owned by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. Formerly housed Cleveland College (later part of Case Western Reserve University). --Dhartung | Talk 04:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Wrong "Standard Building", as it turns out, but I'm still trying to determine when it got that name and why (seeing as how Standard and Cleveland pretty much mean oil & Rockefeller). --Dhartung | Talk 05:13, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I've tried to find significant coverage for this building but couldn't. I don't think this is even on the NRHP. Masaruemoto 05:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I added a press release about it being nominated for inclusion in an NRHP district. As it's passed the state board it is all but automatic that it will become a contributing structure within the district. I also found out the source of the name, not Standard Oil as it turns out. --Dhartung | Talk 19:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - There are tags to assert a lack of notability. --Emesee 05:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Per 11kowrom. Notable building. - Rjd0060 05:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep- notable historic building in Cleaveland. Thunderwing 13:29, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I think that the edits made since the article was nominated should allay any notability concerns. - EurekaLott 17:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable to local community & notable history, well cite'd Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 02:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
