KLTS Tower

)

As cleanup following successful batch deletion of unremarkable masts, I'm nominating a whole bunch of US radio and TV towers that are no more than that 350 meters tall. Towers below 400m are relatively common in the USA, and none of the towers that I am nominating are notable in any way whatsoever, as far as I can tell. Actually, the only one a 'tiny bit special' appears to be WVIT Tower, and apart from this, none of these articles have any substantial additional information other than their name, location and height.

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 16:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In the interests of transparency, I should point out that KISS Radio Tower passed AfD back in April, 2005. Debate here Ohconfucius 09:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete allI can't see that just because something exists it needs an article in this encyclopedia. These articles seem to be spews from other online databases: find a database, make hundreds of articles from it. No effort is apparently made to show how any is notable. All we get are a bunch of stale copies of someone else's data base. Are they all uniquely designed an built, or do they just come out of a factory assembly-line style? Why not create a meaningful article about the styles, manufacturers and assembly methods of towers, how they evolved over the decades, and how the height affects the signal strength and reception area?

Delete all First off none of them are notable. KVLY channel 11, the NBC television affiliate based in Fargo, North Dakota, uses the tallest above-ground structure in the world for broadcasting its signal. The KVLY-TV mast rises 2,063 feet (628.8 m) high, and set the standard for current height limitations in the United States. The steel tower is taller than the combined height of the Great Pyramid Khufu at Giza, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Washington Monument...and THAT tower is just mentioned as part of the channels' article. Remind me again why these cookie cutter towers deserve their own article? --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 23:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all If any notability is shown, it will end up being part of the article of who uses the tower. Also see
List of masts, there could be a lot more. We should probably keep that list ( it does need cleanup), but NOT have article for them. Drunken Pirate 03:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply
