Why are there incomplete skyscrapers on this list

edit

@Robynthehode I'm not talking about buildings that are near completion. I know the story with these Chinese skyscrapers. They are not near completion. Particularly, Golden Finance 117 & Wuhan Greenland Center. If no one objects, I will remove them. Itrytohelp32 (talk) 15:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

What happened with the graphs?

edit

They all look weird now, and I have no idea how to fix it. If anyone has the time to, can they please? Thank you <3 --: 125.59.226.79 (talk) 09:32, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think the problem with the table is fixed now.--Kallichore (talk) 20:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Burj Khalifa is "supertall"?

edit

This list gives a definition of "supertall" as buildings from 300 to 600 meters tall, but the top of the list contains a "megatall" building. Why isn't this just called a list of all the buildings taller than 300m? That's what it is. I wouldn't want to remove the Burj Khalifa from the list, nor give it its own list of megatall buildings, which would be a list of one. Why do we call this a list of "supertall" buildings when that's not what it is? —MiguelMunoz (talk) 21:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

edit

Support the proposal to merge Supertall building with this list, as it is nothing more than a definition. Klbrain (talk) 20:21, 21 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I also support the proposal. I would go further - we should overhaul our entire handling of very tall buildings, to move away from boosterism and jargon like 'megatall'. A lot of the sources for the definitions we currently apply are not independent, but rather come from organisations with a vested interest in hyping up skyscrapers.

WTC Towers/Destroyed Supertall Towers

edit

The original World Trade Center towers were supertall towers, shouldn’t they be included on this list? Jeremy099 (talk) 01:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Added to a new section. LivinAWestLife (talk) 21:51, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
