The result was delete. Project has been cancelled, and is non-notable. –Juliancolton | Talk 00:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod, likely by sockpuppet. (I hadn't seen the contested prod when I prodded it; my prod was removed by a sock who templated me).

Anyhow, enough context. Focusing on the content. This is a non-notable proposed building (wikipedia is not a crystal ball). Lacks reliable sources to establish notability. Delete without prejudice, it can be recreated if sources are established (or it breaks ground). tedder (talk) 00:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The prod thing isn't really a big issue, just including for context. My understanding, and it's probably wrong, is that CRYSTAL applies for any sort of "vaporware", including buildings that haven't broken ground. In other words, it hasn't happened. Naturally, I can't find anything to back this up (or to show me that I'm wrong).
My own personal "yardstick" is "would this still be notable if it never actually happened?" For things such as movies and music CDs the answer to this question is almost always "no," but for something like a 800ft tall building the answer is "maybe". Thus I wouldn't use CRYSTAL as a reason for deletion in cases like this, but rather decide based on the amount of coverage the project has received. In this particular case, I am unsure whether it has enough coverage and thus am neutral on the deletion. --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not to nitpick, but a lack of an article doesn't indicate lack of notability. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Was being mildly facetious :P -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
