Baltic Exchange (building)Baltic Exchange bombing – There is a lot more information about the bombing and its aftermath, rather than the building per se. In fact the only info I see about the building itself is the designers and year (1903), it being Grade II listed, and the mention of a film shooting. There is already a Baltic Exchange Memorial Glass article, which covers all about the building's stained glass. The bombing was a hugely significant event that should instead bear the article name, rather than the building. Gateshead001 (talk) 22:36, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is a hugely significant building in its own right - but I would not have a problem if you wanted to start a separate article on the bombing (and transfer all the bombing material to the new article). Dormskirk (talk) 22:40, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I was originally thinking of starting a separate bombing article, but realised that this building article would then become very short and lacking. That tells me that it's not significant enough, and that this information could be added in a Building section in the bombing article instead. --Gateshead001 (talk) 22:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would strongly oppose that. This was an important building in its own right. It was actually Grade II* rather than Grade II and there is quite a lot of information in the article about its design, construction etc. Also the article has already been assessed and graded as class 'B' in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture project.

@Gateshead001: I would strongly encourage you to withdraw this RM and go with your first instinct. As would @Dormskirk: by the look of above. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
