Wikipedia:Notability proposal (buildings, structures, and landmarks)

This is a failed proposal.

Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.

This guideline discusses the criteria for determining if a building, structure, or landmark is notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. In general, the subject of an article is notable meets the general notability guideline by having coverage in multiple, independent and reliable sources which are also secondary. There are, however, some situations in which a structure can be considered notable even if general notability is insufficient.

General structure guidelines[edit]

The general guidelines for a structure which has not been adequately covered are as follows:

The structure is an enduring part of history and is likely to remain so (see Pyramids of Egypt and Colosseum or other Landmark)
The structure has been has been nominated or won a notable award or multiple awards of lesser notability (see Yamma Mosque)
The structure is regularly frequented or visited by at least two distinctly notable persons.
The structure has been the subject of a notable artistic work (see Tom's Restaurant), though if this is the only claim then the content is probably better off in the article about the artistic work itself.
The structure is a considerable architectural feat, such as a super-tall skyscraper

Landmark or historical designations[edit]

Any building designated by a governmental agency as a historical building or any building or structure given a landmark designation is considered notable.
