Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Listed buildings in Liverpool
Wikipedia is  a directory or a database dump site. Not every building that is listed deserves an article. There are 500,000 listed buildings in England (just one part of the UK) alonehttp://www.heritage.co.uk/apavilions/glstb.html#d. My family home in London is a Grade II (the lowest grade) listed building. There is nothing special about our (extensively modernized/remodelled) home (my father went and researched this in order to value the property, which dates from the 18th century) except some "period" architectural features on the house's front and top (the house is not recognizable as a "old" house and there is no special history attached). ~94% of England's listed buildings are Grade II. The higher grades - Grade II* (4% of buildings) and Grade I (2% of buildings) - are conferred on buildings with some kind of enhanced or exceptional interest and are eligible for grants towards preservation (Grade II are not eligible). Grade I buildings are likely to be worthy of articles. Grade II* buildings - ''maybe''. Anyway, applying these average England percentages, 94% of the buildings on the Liverpool list - which has just been dumped from a database - will be quite unremarkable in encyclopedic terms. I have nothing against a recreation of the article along the more sensible lines of the Birmingham version,    but the current content is not viable
