Apparent non-notable building, no assertions or proof of notability in article. Per WP:GNG there is apparently no "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" since the single cited reference is to the building's entry in the Emporis database.

• Keep. As I have already mentioned in the edit history: "A building of this size and height can easily be the tallest in smaller cities. Hardly a non-notable building, and the article is not a business-directory in any way." The building was featured as one of the structures of the multi-block complex called Marina Square in a major exhibition and a corresponding book[1] on significant Singaporean architecture by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. To call this long-standing landmark a "non-notable building" is completely ludicrous, for even if you are going to insist it mainly appears in thousands of travel-related sites (as it rightfully should anyway), no one can possibly ignore this massive high-rise structure when visiting Marina Bay, Singapore! Pictures speak a thousand words, so look at the first picture in this doc to get an idea of its physical prominence[2]. I am not sure how someone who do not even know which side Singaporeans drive on[3] could insist on coming to the conclusion that this is an "apparent non-notable building"?--Huaiwei (talk) 16:15, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. No need to question the nominator's knowledgeability (it was an innocent mistake). A simple Google image search will tell you the building is not a little compound in the middle of nowhere. I found some coverage of it here (will add that to the article later). There are numerous articles in Wikipedia far less deserving of being here than a pretty prominent building in the middle of a pretty important city.

• Keep Looks like it easily meets WP:GNG and so on. I added a couple sources to the article, it has a potential for much more though. Qrsdogg (talk) 23:48, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
