Tokyo sky tree stands at 634 meters in height, but isn't listed. Harlow Roberts (talk) 03:02, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is because it is a steel tower and a freestanding structure, not a building 2600:100E:B0CF:46:C0B8:93C7:5DA4:6DB0 (talk) 06:09, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change the height of the Burj Binghatti Jacob and Co from 595 meters, which is wrong, to 557 meters, which is the correct height. https://propsearch.ae/dubai/burj-binghatti-jacob-co-residences Ignis Imber (talk) 15:53, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done, given the conflicting data between the currently cited source and the site you provided (both of which are real estate websites, so both are lacking in reliability), more reliable source would need to be provided, like news reporting or official statements.

Please see the fact that the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, is the true number 7, as it stands at 553.3 meters (1,815 feet) and is one of the tallest free-standing structures in the world. ~2025-33579-04 (talk) 06:08, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. It's not clear what changes you want to make. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 06:58, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned countless times before, the CN Tower is not an inhabitable buildings. It does not contain multiple stories throughout its height where people can work or live in. LivinAWestLife (talk) 13:30, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Original heading (please focus on content): Disrupting editions by other user who modifies the status of a building even with a valid source provided ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:04, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Senna Tower is already under construction, I have provided news sources for this claim. Also as a supporting evidence there's even a video from 2 weeks ago showing the active construction site. Just search on youtube: "Execution of the Foundations of the SENNA TOWER - Diaphragm Wall".

Sources such as Skyscraper Center many times lag behind what is happening on the ground, sometimes it takes more than a year for them to update the status of a building even if it's well under construction.

It's common for details of a project to change in the middle of the works, such as the proposed height, this type changes are not captured by sources such as Skyscraper Center. An example of this is the Burj Binghatti construction, they have changed it's official projected height, in the Skyscraper Center source it shows projected height of 594 meters, but this is an outdated information, in other sources and in the official website of the project it shows that the current planned height is 557 meters. This can be easily verified here: https://jacobandco.com/real-estate/binghatti

As I said in some occasions Skyscraper Center provides outdated and incorrect information about this projects, and it should not be used as the exclusive and only reliable source about the details of this projects.

This drivel is back in the lead again. It's appalling writing, and it's also misleading. Whether or not a structure is a tower does not determine whether it's a building within the meaning of this article; some are and some aren't. But as some are, we should not be including a statement - in the lead or anywhere else - that says they aren't. (But it's also begging the question: according to what independent reliable source are we making this determination?) GenevieveDEon (talk) 19:58, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Council on Vertical Urbanism, formerly known as the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, only recognizes a structure as a building if at least 50% of its height is made up of floor plates containing habitable floor area.^[1] Structures that do not meet this criterion are defined as towers. This article is just for buildings. We have separate articles just for towers and a third set of articles for all structures (including both buildings and towers). If there are towers in this article, then they should be removed. - Burner89751654 (talk) 20:24, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have two responses to that:

• The CVU is not an independent or neutral source here; it's an advocacy body with a vested interest in a particular presentation of the material. We shouldn't be treating it as the sole authority on this.
• Nothing you have said responds to my key point: even by CVU's standards, some towers are buildings (and belong on this list) and some are not (and don't). You're continuing to present 'towers' and 'buildings' as though they are disjoint sets, and they're just not. And my point - repeatedly made and frequently ignored by people who regard CTBUH/CVU's views as more important than the ordinary meanings of words - is that the sentence quoted in the heading of this section (as well as being really badly written) implies that towers are intrinsically not buildings. That claim is not true, and shouldn't appear on Wikipedia. GenevieveDEon (talk) 22:08, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
