What should we do with the disagreement between the CTBUH numbers and those provided elsewhere on Wikipedia?

It's evident that for some cities, especially in Asia, the number of skyscrapers above 150 meters completed or under construction according to the CTBUH and a city's tallest buildings list article on Wikipedia is different. Generally the Wikipedia list will contain buildings not catalogued by the CTBUH. I raised this issue some months ago but no one replied so there was no consensus to be made. Here are some cities for which this applies:

Bangkok: 114 (CTBUH), 165 (Wikipedia)

Daegu: 6 (CTBUH), 27 (Wikipedia)

Jakarta: 115 (CTBUH), 128 (Wikipedia)

Miami: 61 (CTBUH), 68 (Wikipedia)

Mumbai: 100 (CTBUH), 252 (Wikipedia)

Seoul: 82 (CTBUH), 126 (Wikipedia)

Data for the number of skyscrapers under construction is also sparse for cities that aren't in the US, China, or Europe. For example, Tokyo has 29 150 m+ buildings under construction (according to List of tallest structures in Tokyo) but the CTBUH only lists 8 of them.

The database is not easy for users to contribute; I have submitted several missing buildings a year ago but they have not been updated at all. Perhaps changing the article numbers could nudge them to improve its data collection. This may indicate that the CTBUH is not the most reliable source for data on tall buildings.

Should we continue to adhere to the CTBUH numbers for every city, or should we use the number closer to reality given in the Wikipedia articles for cities for which there is a large disagreement?

If we go with the latter we could add a footnote for certain cities for which the disagreement applies. I am personally for going with the number that is closer to reality if there is a consensus to do so for some cities.

Should I open an RfC for it?

I will make a note of cities that have been changed to reflect their number on Wikipedia instead of CTBUH:

Sydney: 54 (instead of 49 from Sydney + Parramatta)

yes please do so as the article contains false information 2603:6081:6500:EADA:18D:F6DF:81E1:2F64 (talk) 21:37, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would but I would like to see more editors voice their opinions on this. So far it seems like only I have talked about this issue at large. LivinAWestLife (talk) 01:39, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this observation. When sparsing the list, it's obvious that more most European or US cities, the numbers are broadly in line with reality but for the Chinses cities the discrepancies between the Wiki entries and what is listed here are huge.

Change in Mumbais rank

please change mumbai's skyscraper number from 102 to 252 as listed in wikipedia or to 154 as shown by real estate management company anarock as seen here - https://www.deccanherald.com/business/mumbais-vertical-boom-mmr-to-see-34-growth-in-skyscrapers-with-40-floors-over-next-six-years-3046103

i have also been told that there were a lot of buildings listed as 150 meters tall in the mumbai skyscraper article but i wanted to point out that even if we dont consider any of the buildings listed as exactly 150 metres tall, mumbai still has 210 skyscrapers taller than 150 metres. Please change this ASAP as it is spreading false information that mumbai has only 102 skyscrapers and there are many towers listed in wikipedia that arent listed in the CBTUH that the artcile uses as its source. This issue has been raised numerous times but is still not being changed. Please change it 2603:6081:6500:EADA:18D:F6DF:81E1:2F64 (talk) 21:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
