This list was promoted in 2005. It contains hardly any inline citations, which is a very significant defect. The citation style is not clear: explanatory footnotes and citation footnotes are mixed in the "Notes" section and there are four items in the "References" section (none of these four are properly formatted references). Except for two obituaries, all of the references are in Spanish. Of course, foreign language references are permissible, but that limits potential editors to add inline citations to those who understand Spanish. AHeneen (talk) 03:56, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Demote: Serious citing and accessibility problems. Pretty much everything promoted before 2010 should have an eye put on it, the reviews were basically an arbitrary "yes/no" then. '''tAD''' (talk) 21:58, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist - Citation issues are critical. Not only are they of an unusual/outdated style, but there is also a lack of citations throughout the text. Having Spanish references is perfectly fine for me, but the other citation issues are what persuaded me to vote for a delisting. This would take considerable efforts to bring to Featured List quality. Mattximus (talk) 23:59, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist far from FL quality with so few citations. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:18, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist Unfortunately not up to par. Lacks citations where needed, table isn't properly formatted, and other issues. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:50, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Closing- no work done, and consensus pretty clearly not going to change anytime soon. --PresN 15:10, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Notified: WikiProject Skyscrapers
There are some very big problems with many of the "tallest buildings lists" that are currently featured. I think List of tallest buildings in Austin specifically no longer meets featured list criteria. Specifically, two whole sections (under construction and approved) are completely unreferenced. There is an outdated tag from 3 years ago not addressed. There are many dead links, very messy citations, images have no alt-texts, and many of the buildings in the main list are unsourced. It has been neglected for years now and it shows. This would take a lot of work to bring it up to standards again sadly... Delist Mattximus (talk) 00:35, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist. Currently, this list does not meet FL criteria. I recommend notifying WikiProject Architecture, WikiProject Austin, and WikiProject Texas, too, to see if any editors are willing to bring this list up to standards. ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:52, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I have notified all 3 projects, as well as the general skyscraper project. Mattximus (talk) 14:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist. Unfortunately there are a lot of these older featured lists that are in bad shape. Unless someone is willing to jump in and improve this list, it probably should be removed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:21, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist. Outdated and citation needed tags. Misformed references. Not in good shape '''tAD''' (talk) 05:28, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
