We say that it is also called the 105 Building, but the sources for this don't appear to be strong, and some of them might be circular sourcing. The sources note that it is also called the 105 Building, but they call it the Ryugyong Hotel. Who actually calls it the 105 Building?-- Jack Upland ( talk) 09:13, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Citation needed content for almost a whole paragraph, undoubtly not " verifiable". If this were a GA nomination, it will fail immediately. If there are any sources that could help supporting or re-writing the paragraph involved, then everything will be great. Σαν μο σαThe Trve Lawe of free Monarchies 07:57, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

The claim of "The building is currently listed by Guinness World Records as being the tallest unoccupied building in the world" in the Summary should be removed because it is incorrect, as the linked source itself says the World's tallest unoccupied building is the GOLDIN FINANCE 117 in Tianjin, China.

In any of the pre glass facade concrete photos, it's obvious that it only have 80 or 90 floors, not 100 or more. It's a very wide low angle pyramid and there may be some staggered levels, or basement floors as one photo shows a sloped grade at the bottom. B137 ( talk) 21:22, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
The under construction photos of it's shell before glass facade show it has about 80 floors plus the 3 basement levels. The 105 number (+3b) is a simple extrapolation of it's 1,080 ft height divided by a generic 10ft/floor standard that mostly mid rise buildings loosely adhere to, giving it a marketing storey of 105 plus 3b.

hello - in review of the photo gallery section, it feels like there is an excessive amount of photos in this gallery. sometimes photos from within a day are provided, which is unnecessary in my opinion. suggest selecting key photos that are either 1) especially nice photos or 2) depict construction progress and dropping ones that do not add as much value to the article.
