First I'll reproduce the policy to which this page has been proposed to violate:
As the original creator of this article, I feel it does not qualify as an excessive list of statistics. It's a detailed description of fourteen historic buildings in Alabama, which provided (and, in all cases, continue to provide, though mostly in different buildings) free access to libraries for thousands of Alabamans at the turn of the 20th century. It's not an indiscriminate list of buildings, but a targeted list. The entire reason for its creation was to avoid a sprawling, excessive list that was decreasing the readability of Carnegie library ( old revision, diff).
Furthermore, the first pillar of WP:5 states that
