Keep Why would a building built in 1970 turn up on Google News? Ghits on architecture subjects are not a useful guide. Sourcing for work of this era would all be in print. Works by notable architects like Harry Weese are normally considered notable; this work was executed when Weese was at the peak of his career. Covered in Architecture in Cincinnati, an unusual example of an urban shopping arcade, part of the context of Weese's urban design aesthetic. Acroterion (talk) 15:14, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I made a small but essential change in my rationale: The building is not exceptional high or special. Night of the Big Wind _talk 19:24, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I could see there was a museum located in the building. It could have created some stories about the building when it was moving out. The building could have been some remarkable architectural features or be involved in spectacular incidents. But no trace of that. As far as I can find the building is just doing what it is supposed to do: standing strong. Night of the Big Wind _talk 15:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable architect and this appears to pass WP:GNG with multiple sources giving significant coverage to it, generally for its design. [1][2][3] --Oakshade (talk) 02:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
