unreferenced and indiscriminate list Jax 0677 ( talk) 17:42, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't like the title (clearly the content is only referring to buildings in the USA), but I don't think the items in the list are inherently unreference-able. According to WP:LISTN, we're supposed to be judging the notability of the list as a whole, and it seems to me that it is quite likely that US Historical Landmarks - as a thing - are at least as notable as most other lists on wikipedia, such as List of castles in England, List of national parks of the United States etc. As a list it seems to me to be far more coherent than other hypothetical lists which could be offered such as List of things that are orange, List of objects bigger than a cow etc. On the other hand.. if the header is to be believed, the list will eventually include more than 2500 lines of information, which will likely make it unworkable as a wikipedia page. Maybe it needs to be transwikied to wikidata? JMWt ( talk) 18:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as redundant. This is a list-class article, with National Historic Landmark as the parent article that shows the topic to be quite notable and shows the list to have clear inclusion criteria. Hence I see no structural problem with the article per WP:LISTN. However, we already have List of U.S. National Historic Landmarks by state, which is a much better titled, organized and referenced article on the same topic. -- Mark viking ( talk) 18:52, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- Well spotted Mark viking. I'll !vote delete on that basis too. JMWt ( talk) 19:14, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as redundant. There are well-over 2,500 National Historical Landmarks in the United States compared to 59 National Parks in the US. I agree that that we should absolutely chronicle all of the national landmarks, but there is absolutely no reason to do so on a single page. We already list all of the landmarks by state and have a master list of lists to help with navigation purposes. In my opinion, this is cleaner, easier to navigate and easier to open for slow computers than listing every single landmark on a single page. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 02:56, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
