I suggest page move to former name List of tallest structures in the People's Republic of China, because there is no special building content to reflect it in name of article (and building is structure) and article List of tallest buildings in the People's Republic of China now exists. --Jklamo (talk) 02:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think they should be merged. --Techfast50 (talk) 05:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Me not. Scope of both articles is different. Also in a case of merge, both talbes must be preserved and article will be too long. --Jklamo (talk) 02:32, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain the difference in scope? Techfast50 (talk) 19:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For sure. List of tallest buildings is listing buildings only, so it can contain building specific columns like number of floors or different heights (roof, pinnacle, standard). Also it may have its own height limit. List of tallest structures is listing all kind of structures (including buildings), so it can contain columns like type of structure and also have its own limit. See Template:TBSW for many countries with both articles.--Jklamo (talk) 03:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But why not have one article with just buildings and another article with just structures? Or merge into one article with two sections divided into buldings and structures? --Techfast50 (talk) 11:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just because buildings are structures thus they also belong to the list of structures. --Jklamo (talk) 00:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article should be merged into this article. There is no reason for two lists containing the same information. See List of tallest buildings and structures in Japan. --Torsodog^Talk 19:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Information from www.emporis.com

I removed (again) www.emporis.com as a reference to Hefei Emerald TV Tower because it has the building’s name spelled wrong. The name of the city is Hefei, not Heifei. Anyone knows Chinese understands that. In addition, that building, which is no odd than others, does not need two references (ironically, the other reference spells the name correctly).

Jklamo, adding incorrect reference to the article is not constructive in the first place, neither was your reversion (twice) to my correction. Please refrain from adding information to articles unless you are at least familiar with the topic. I’m sure you have knowledge in many fields, why don’t contribute to the topics that you are familiar with? Kingdomer (talk) 22:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the name being spelled incorrectly on emporis, the site is a reliable source for information on buildings and structures. Please looks at other FL (eg. List of tallest buildings in Vancouver) that abundantly use emporis as a source. Additionally, it is customary to include two sources for each building. To make it look less "odd" that this building includes two references, feel free to add more to the other buildings on the list! --Torsodog^Talk 15:01, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, "Heifei Emerald TV Tower" yields almost 100 times more hits than "Hefei Emerald TV Tower" on Google. --Torsodog^Talk 15:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now it's other way round, Hefei gets 3 times more than Heifei.

But my point is, Skyscraperpage.com lists completion year as 2010 and status as "under construction". Also, it seems to be very hard to find a photo of this tower, although this list gives year as 2008. The Skyscraperpage is probably right, it is under construction. Though I didn't find any construction pictures either... 85.217.42.202 (talk) 08:41, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still no pictures of this tower. And nice one with the source to that tower, it gives a chinese language page with a 404 error. I suggest removing this entry, since I just looked from Emporis.com, and their tallest in Hefei is now 178 m. 82.141.119.188 (talk) 11:11, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that there are two tower in Hefei. Emporis is not so well updated in these times. Apart SSP that tower is listed on CTBUH (http://buildingdb.ctbuh.org/index.php?do=building&building_id=10027) as U/C, here as U/C in 2009; so feel free to move it to U/C section. Found some pics of TV tower in hefei (http://www.flickr.com/photos/t_trace/433633808/, http://www.panoramio.com/photo/9520722 and surrounding; but i am not sure, it it is that 339m one. --Jklamo (talk) 16:31, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that is the 339 m tower. And checking other pictures of that tower from that panoramio gallery, the oldest is from 2006. So it is far earlier than this Emerald Tower. Nothing like this drawing from the skycraperpage.com http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/images/33326.gif cannot be found.

I would say nothing indicates that this is actually even in progress. 85.217.46.172 (talk) 05:23, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
