:({{Find sources AFD|List of the tallest buildings in Wisconsin}})

I don't think a "List of the tallest buildings in Wisconsin" is a large enough topic to be listed in an encyclopedia. Wisconsin is a relatively small state and only three buildings have been added to this list (I assume no more will be added). Also, there are no references. — Music1201 ^talk 23:32, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

• Delete List of tallest buildings in Milwaukee covers the topic of tall buildings in Wisconsin well enough; Madison is height-restricted due to the Wisconsin State Capitol, and outside of there and Milwaukee the tallest building is usually either a bank or hotel in a Wisconsin city. Too broad a topic with a deep plunge after Madison. Nate • (chatter) 01:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

• Delete as not enough for a solid article, certainly conceivable including with the name but still questionable at the end. SwisterTwister talk 06:18, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect [to older, more complete List of tallest buildings in Wisconsin that was found by User:Jay. Changed from "Keep"], as the topic of "List of tallest buildings in STATE" is valid for any state, unless there is some clear standard, although it would also be fine to merge this to a Wisconsin section in a combo list, say something like "List of tallest buildings in the United States by state" (distinct from List of tallest buildings by U.S. state which gives just one per state). Fix its grammar and tag it for more references, sure, but we don't need separate AFDs for lots of separate members of :Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States. --doncram 16:34, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
• Do not delete, this is a valid search term and there is content available for it, so it should lead readers to that content. It could be redirected to a long list by state, be redirected to the Milwaukee list, or the Milwaukee list could be moved to this title. Siuenti (talk) 12:07, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
• Keep For list articles that are part of a closed set, it shouldn't matter how many elements there are, provided there is at least one. It would be different for "Tallest Buildings in {City}," which is an open set.Ma^t_chups 13:52, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

• KeepRedirect per {{U|JayJay}}, below. I agree with Doncram and Matchups on this one. From an encyclopedic point of view, our goal here should be to have some kind of referenced list for every state. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:53, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
• Keep Redirect as below – Plausibly useful list with objective selection criteria. Obviously it's going to overlap with the Milwaukee one, but they are separate topics and WP:NOTPAPER applies. Does need improvement, as {{u|doncram}} says (maybe a dedicated "outside Milwaukee" section), but that can be dealt with at the article. —Nizolan ^(talk) 01:28, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect Did anyone care to see if there was a similar article pretty much the same as this one. I did and there is, the title is similar. Article name is List of tallest buildings in Wisconsin. I suggest redirecting to that article JayJay^{What did I do?} 01:48, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

::Actually, I did look, but for whatever reason I didn't find it. Thank you. I agree that the existing article is superior, and have changed my !vote accordingly. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

::::Nice catch User:Jay, but the 2015-created List of tallest buildings in Wisconsin was not in categories where it should have been, where I looked and User:Arxiloxos probably did too. Its only category was :Category:Lists of buildings and structures in Wisconsin. It should also have been in :Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States. (The Alabama one is in :Category:Skyscrapers in Alabama, :Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States, :Category:Lists of buildings and structures in Alabama) while some others, like the Kansas one, had only the "Lists of buildings and structures in STATE" category.) It was perhaps not found by User:Listmaker319, who created the new one created recently that is subject of this AFD, for the same reason. The new one was not put into any categories at all. (It happens to anyone, that we create an article and later find that the topic exists under a different name. But Listmaker319, please make a point of adding appropriate categories to any new lists that you make! Doing so might help you find your way to pre-existing lists....in this case you might have found the pre-existing one in Category:Lists of buildings and structures in Wisconsin...and you would have redirected your new list, yourself, avoiding this AFD.) I am going to add categories now. --doncram 15:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

:::Yes, agreed on both counts. Changed !vote accordingly. —Nizolan ^(talk) 04:32, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

• Comment: to User:Listmaker319, User:Grayamari, User:MainlyTwelve and others, there is need for Lists of tallest buildings in the United States by state (currently a redlink), different than List of tallest buildings by U.S. state, to link to the state lists like the navigation template {{tl|US tallest buildings lists by state}} does. That list is needed so it can be included into template {{tl|Template:US tallest buildings lists}}. And there are other states where the state lists are needed, as can be seen by review of what's linked in template {{tl|US tallest buildings lists by state}}:

:*"Alaska" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Anchorage, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Alaska (which is currently a redlink)

:*"Arizona" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Phoenix, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Arizona (which is currently a redlink)

:*"Arkansas" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Little Rock, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Arkansas (which is currently a redlink)

:*California and Connecticut are okay already

:*"Delaware" is linked to List of tallest buildings in Wilmington, Delaware, rather than to List of tallest buildings in Delaware (which is currently a redlink)

:*etc.

:Hope this helps! --doncram 16:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
