Talk:List of tallest buildings by height to roof

Untitled

Why isn't 432 Park Avenue on this list? Tomdejong14 (talk) 00:04, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

It appears this page is broadly out of date; in addition to 432 Park Avenue as previously mentioned, it should now presumably also include at least One Vanderbilt, and possibly others. TradeJmark (talk) 05:25, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

It seems to me, unless I'm missing some reasoning, that Tuntex Sky Tower and Aon Center (Chicago) should be removed, since the page description says the list will be of buildings with roof heights taller than 350m, and then the list contains these two buildings with listed heights below 350m.

To merge, by symmetry with the other alternative metric sections, as an alternative to deletion (redundant category). Klbrain (talk) 09:37, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings routinely gets around 5,000 views per day while this page only gets around thirty per day. Several buildings around 1,000-1,200 ft are missing, which could be fixed, but I think that with such a low view count, this page may as well be absorbed into the measurements section of "List of tallest buildings". Either that, or perhaps this article should be deleted if it isn't notable enough to be kept (although I think a merge would be better). Regardless, this page is pretty noticeably outdated and could do with a refresh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.157.78.174 (talk) 17:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

oppose Note that this type of measurement is outdated and deprecated by CTBUH since 2009, as a result there are no sources for new buildings. It doesn't make much sense its inclusion into the "main" article. I think there is no need to merge or delete, 30+ views per day is a pretty decent number.--Jklamo (talk) 15:43, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree, I think that measuring the tallest buildings by their roof height is merely an alternative to measuring the tallest buildings by architectural height, just as the "height to pinnacle" and the "height to highest occupied floor" are also alternative measurements. If those alternatives aren't important or special enough to deserve their own article, why is this measurement different? There clearly isn't much interest in this specific measurement if it is outdated by so many years and getting comparatively very few views in comparison to the "main" article. This is why I say it should be merged so that it can get more exposure and updates, or it should be deleted altogether if there isn't any interest in keeping this article up-to-date. 152.157.78.174 (talk) 18:14, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Support merge: just as we have List of tallest buildings#Height to pinnacle (highest point) and List of tallest buildings#Height to occupied floor, so too can we have a section there for Height to roof. If length is a problem, then cap the subsidiary lists (top 20 perhaps). Klbrain (talk) 11:04, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
