It is not exactly a skyscraper - it is only 9 floors. Codf1977 (talk) 07:28, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment:Skyscraper is an exceedingly loose term. The definition I'm most familiar with is that it's a steel framed building, not necessarily that it's very tall. This building probably fits that definition, though the article's not terribly clear. No comment on whether this building is notable. Buddy431 (talk) 17:40, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While the building isn't a skyscraper in the modern sense, you have to remember this building was completed in 1915. Outside of New York and Chicago, buildings weren't that tall. One of America's first skyscrapers, the Wainwright Building was only ten floors. I just think since the building was a first for Madison, it is somewhat notable. Also, I'm not sure if this is on the National Register of Historic Places, but it should be because it is part of Madison's history.Zonafan39 (talk) 05:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Madison's first skyscraper? That seems pretty obviously a notable part of Madison's history. It's a respectable stub; deleting it would be a terrible waste. - Draeco (talk) 23:56, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Draeco's rationale. It is now well referenced. Royalbroil 04:03, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
