Signature Towers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The subject of this article is a proposed building from 2006 which was never built. Care was taken WP:BEFORE this nomination to search for evidence of non-trivial coverage from reliable third parties and was not successful. The existing references are primary sources, a press release, a dead link, and a link to ImageShack. There is no evidence that I can locate to suggest that this building will ever be completed. I am recommending deletion on the basis that the subject lacks requisite coverage to satisfy general notability. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:21, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've added it to her main article and buildings category, that'll get some eyeballs on this Afd, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:42, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fwiw, by combining the architect's last name with "Signature Towers," one does see some WP:RS. For example this 2010 bylined news article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:46, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
keep when an architect is as acclaimed as Zaha Hadid, even her unbuilt designs can be notable (look how many unbuilt List of Frank Lloyd Wright works designs have articles). This one has sufficient sources to keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is apparent that Zaha Hadid is notable, but notability is not inherited to works-in-progress. What examples can you show where the Signature Towers are recipients of non-trivial coverage from reliable sources? Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:06, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well there is this Daniel Libeskind Studios video [1]. More seriously, this [2] news search. I'm not going to object to a redirect, to [[Zaha Hadid, adding the link User:Shawn in Montreal found. Those towers really do dance, Someone in Dubai may even decide to built it. Cheers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:11, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
