This is a WP:ONEEVENT kind of thing being that the staircase's only claim to fame was that it survived the initial impact of United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the South Tower on 9/11, thus allowing 18 people at or above the impact zone to escape the burning skyscraper before it collapsed, taking the staircase with it. As a result, the article has not been expanded since its creation more than four years ago and will likely not ever expand since it does not exist anymore. There is nothing else notable about this staircase as proven by the fact that it was not given a nickname like Survivors' Staircase (Stairwell A technically exists in every other skyscraper ever built). There have been bold attempts to merge and/or redirect to other 9/11 related articles (one of them, Collapse of the World Trade Center#Collapse of the South Tower, has the exact same information that exists in this article), but they have all been reverted and any subsequent discussions have fizzled out because this is a low-class article that is not monitored by many editors. Therefore, I feel that just deleting this article is the only way to stop any further issues that may pop up, but it is up to you as to what is the best thing to do with this article.

Merge and redirect to Collapse of the World Trade Center. Tom Harrison ^Talk 14:58, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Redirect Collapse of the World Trade Center already explains its significance. This isn't a great article, and there's no unique content worth saving. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
