List of tallest buildings in Dubai

Notified: Example user, Example WikiProject

There are barely any pictures on this page, probably due to a mass purge of UAE building images on Commons some years ago. I might try to add some more images to this page in the next few weeks, but for now I don't think it deserves to be featured. Kestreltail (talk) 04:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kestreltail Pictures can be added with the WP:FLRC process, what part(s) of WP:WIAFL does this fail? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:43, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other than the pictures, a number of red links. Kestreltail (talk) 03:12, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kestreltail Red links are permitted. What proportion of the items in the list are red links? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:21, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

24 out of 74 items, or about a third. There are also some red links surprisingly near the start of the list, but if none of these are considered problems then I will gladly withdraw my nomination. Kestreltail (talk) 15:48, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delist - Wow, I have not seen a featured list with such lack of citations, some entire tables missing citations, random facts missing citations. It also has wild (possibly outdated) speculation running afoul of WP:CRYSTAL, and has outdated style "This list ranks". Says "currently under construction" with no indication of what "currently means". Will be a lot of work to bring this up to standard. Mattximus (talk) 04:11, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the main list is fine. The under construction section needs some updating. Cheetah (talk) 08:01, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delist In the "Tallest buildings" section there are 28 listings with no refs and the other sections are not better. I don't know much about tall buildings but are there really no other sources than SkyscraperPage.com and CTBUH? Also I think ref columns should be at the end of the table, not in between. Using "37=" to clarify that buildings are tied in height is inefficient. rowspan exists for a reason. — Lirim | Talk 00:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Although there's one keep here, I'm going to go ahead and delist- while the issues the nominator brought up may or may not be an issue, the large lack of citations are pretty glaring. Lots of the buildings are unreferenced, parts of the list seem out of date from at least 2019 (or at least additions have been made piecemeal and the wording not cleaned up for other parts), and after 3 months there's not much movement on this list. --Pres N 19:05, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
