- Welcome to Wikipedia, SecretName101. This is your first article, and I'm presuming that you've written about something that you're familiar with. However, I hope that you will agree that it wouldn't be practical if we had an article about every five story building in the world. We have to set limits on articles, based upon whether something is notable enough that it gets attention outside the local area. As the saying goes, "Everything gets published on Wikipedia, but not everything gets to stay on Wikipedia." Mandsford (talk) 17:55, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Does the book you're referencing give any indication of something unique about this building (and 1500?). If so, you should include that in the article. What you want to do is to explain why this building is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia (and personal liking isn't enough: it must be historic or have a historic event associated with it, or be notable on the basis of its design). Who was the architect? Acroterion (talk) 03:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - while I applaud the author's enthusiasm, these buildings are unfortunately relatively unremarkable and thus fail our notability guidelines. Cocytus [»talk«] 00:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
