Removing featured lists in Wikipedia This page is for the review and improvement of featured lists that may no longer meet the featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards, regardless of when they were promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable. The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and Hey man im josh, determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:
Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination:
Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period as featured list candidates) or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. A bot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination has been archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the |

[edit]

Sadly a lot of these list of tallest buildings have not aged well, this one was nominated almost 20 years ago (!). Here are some issues which range from minor to major:
- Alt-text missing from every single picture
- Notes section needs to be completely redone. Consider the Grade I listed buildings in Oxford note section for what modern featured list notes should be. Currently, it is quite random. One lists the date of topping out, but not for any others. One says "To be leased by amazon" with no date, nor period. Citation is from 2024?
- Much outdated wording "This lists ranks...". Notes in the subheading lead, which belong in notes, not in the lead (which is meant to describe the table contents).
- Tallest under construction appears to be years out of date, with no expected year of completion.
- What does the "skyline ranked 3rd" mean? What are the criteria for ranking?
- Number of high rises in the lead do not match table.
- Inconsistent naming. Is the tallest building called Amazon Sonic, or just Sonic?
- Could use a map, like some of the other featured list of tallest buildings.
- Statement in lead "lead to a new round of development in 2024" is not backed up by the table.
- Sort is completely broken for year of completion.
- There might be duplicates in main table and under construction table, but I'm not sure.
- Timeline of tallest buildings could use a little lead to explain the history.
- Citations seem outdated, and user-generated content, number 6 has no reference at all!
- Images of skyline are 19 and 11 years out of date, so miss many of the buildings in the list itself

- Delist unless someone undertakes the necessary improvements. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:07, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delist; the list of issues is convincing. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2026 (UTC)
This list has numerous unsourced statements. How up-to-date is this anyway? Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:42, 15 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Bgsu98 I can easily fix those unsource statement issues. I already looked through the article and mostly everrything is up to date. Nothing else that should be changed; Monathephantom (talk) 04:13, 15 August 2026 (UTC)
- Certainly on the content front, this appears to all be up to date. WWE 2k27 is in development but doesn't have a release date. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 20:58, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
- That being said, at a glance a lot of the ref links appear to be dead. I've manually fixed a few and run the IABot, but it might be worth a deeper dive just in case it's missed any considering how many it marked. I am also not sure what exactly needs sourcing and what doesn't as I'm not too familiar with VG FLs ("Arcade style game replacing WWE 2K21 due to the negative reviews and low sales WWE 2K20 received." strikes me as needing a source, as does the Benoit section)/RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 21:14, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

NB: It's worth pointing out that this appears to be the version reviewed for FLC, 18 years ago. As such everything from Smackdown vs Raw 2010 hasn't been audited.
