Split proposal 16 February 2024

edit

It is high time we opened a split proposal for this article into a separate one solely for the original North Tower. There is plenty of history and architectural merit that would warrant a separate article, the same as what was done for 7 World Trade Center (1987-2001), split from it's successor, the modern-day 7 World Trade Center. Similarly, the list of tenants would simply be transferred over to the article on the original North Tower. Previous consensus was in favor of a split as the 2 iterations of 7 WTC were independently notable. Excited to hear thoughts and suggestions. I will be suggesting the same be done for the South Tower. That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 18:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support in principle, though I think we might be able to write a combined article on the original Twin Towers. If we do decide to split out each Twin Tower as separate articles, we should move List of tenants in 1 World Trade Center (1971–2001) to 1 World Trade Center (1971–2001) instead, then split out the content. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Agreed, just as what was done for 7 World Trade Center (1987-2001)? The list of tenants would merely just be a section in each article as opposed to 2 separate list pages? And we can see if the two towers are different enough for each to deserve its own article. I anticipate that perhaps a section could be devoted to the antenna alone for the North Tower. Though if we do decide to go for the unified article, it'd necessarily have to be significantly different than World Trade Center (1973-2001). That Coptic Guyping me!

Regarding The list of tenants would merely just be a section in each article as opposed to 2 separate list pages?, yes, I anticipate that would be the case. The two towers share a lot of their history and architecture so that's why I suggested a combined article. Epicgenius (talk) 02:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Strong support per nom and the fact that it doesn’t make sense to have one article about two different buildings.

Support because the original tower is significant on its own and deserves a separate article. We can move over the tenants lists, although they are both pretty long so it might be better to just leave them be. Readingpro256 talk to me contribs 15:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Can you change One World Trade Center picture into June 2024 picture 73.15.71.115 (talk) 17:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Can you One World Trade Center picture into a June 2024 One World Trade picture 73.15.71.115 (talk) 17:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The reason why I want you to change it is because I hate the June 2021 picture so please change it 73.15.71.115 (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry, but we can't change pictures just because you 'hate them', there needs to be a concrete reason, or pages will become instable with people changing things that don't need changing. Readingpro256 talk to me contribs 03:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don’t hate all of them only the first one 73.15.71.115 (talk) 16:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
actually I don’t hate it but can you change it into 2024 One World Trade Center picture 73.15.71.115 (talk) 00:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

105th floor?

edit

The article currently says: Floors 91–99 and 103–104 are mechanical floors with a reference to SkyscraperPage. But the source actually says floors 103-105 are mechanical floors. So is this source wrong? Other reliable sources, like Skyscraper Center don't say. Mokadoshi (talk) 16:40, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

As @Epicgenius pointed out in their latest edit on the page, the official 1WTC website lists the 104th floor as the top floor. For this reason, and because SkyscraperPage appears to be WP:UGC (but I can't tell for sure), SkyscraperPage appears to be unreliable for this article and I'd suggest we replace it with better sources. Mokadoshi (talk) 17:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the ping, and good point. I've replaced SkyscraperPage with another source. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is not the tallest building in the western hemisphere, or the 7th tallest building in the world

edit

It’s the 11th tallest building in the world. The tallest building in the western hemisphere is the CN tower. This is blatant misinformation. 2607:F2C0:E34C:3980:1C37:55A0:2A87:D96A (talk) 16:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Telecommunications towers aren't considered buildings, since they lack functional floors. G0dzillaboy02 (talk) 12:27, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Incident section too alarming, please remove

edit

Could we just put those incidents in the hisotry section? They seem a bit unnecessary. The Empire State Building has multiple shootings ans suicides but 1WTC has a dumb teen some parachuters and a broken window? How does the term "incident" look on this specific page? Are the terrorist attacks under an "Incident" section for the original Twin Towers page? Does "Incident" for a building on a Wikipedia page imply suicdes, suicide bombings, fights, shootings and such or just the fact the elevator dint run on Tuesday? 24.144.249.111 (talk) 05:53, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
