Should the First Interstate Center be categorised as a skyscraper? Dlabtot (talk) 15:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Survey

Oppose, According to Wikipedia's skyscraper article, a skyscraper has at least 40 floors. This building has 20. Dlabtot (talk) 15:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC) Also, Wikipedia content must be verifiable to a reliable source. Absent a reliable source that describes this building as a skyscraper, it's not our job to do so. Dlabtot (talk) 05:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
No -- Not sure why a 20-floor building would be considered a "skyscraper." Damotclese (talk) 15:05, 19 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
No - I'm surprised that there's no discussion leading up to this RfC. Have any reliable sources referred to the building as a skyscraper? Otherwise, as per the above. DonIago (talk) 13:17, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
No - Per Dlabtot, 20 floors is not tall enough to be considered a skyscraper. Meatsgains (talk) 17:13, 28 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Threaded discussion

Just to be clear, the question is not 'what words should be used to describe the building in the article?', but rather, 'should the building be placed in the Wikipedia category "Skyscrapers in Montana"?' Dlabtot (talk) 00:00, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Fair point, but everyone seems to agree that the building doesn't meet the definition of a skyscraper. DonIago (talk) 03:45, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Summary

In absense of WP:RS and failing to comply with the definition of a sjy-scraper, the First Interstate Center shall not be categorised as a skyscraper.Winged Blades^Godric 08:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
