Talk:MetLife Building

message: Shouldn't this article be moved to Metlife Building if that's its proper name now?  Pan Am Building would then redirect.  Postdlf 23:17, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: finds this claim to be questionable.  " the Pan Am Building is an example of a Brutalist or International style skyscraper"  I am trying to break the wikipedia habit, but just can't walk away from this sort of statement. Carptrash 05:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have read that the MetLife Building was originally to be built atop Grand Central Station, however due to the public outcry over the demolition of the station, the building was constructed next door or over the road. Perhaps something about this could be in the article. CybergothiChé (talk) 06:28, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

message: "The world's largest commercial office space by square footage at its opening, it remains one of the hundred tallest buildings in the United States."
This sentence in the first paragraph of the article doesn't sound right. I would maybe say:
"It was the world's largest commercial office space by square footage at its opening and it remains one of the hundred tallest buildings in the United States."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.224.230 (talk) 02:16, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

message: "Developer Erwin S. Wolfson proposed a 65-story tower called Grand Central City to replace the six-story baggage structure (which had by then become an office building) north of the terminal."
Whatever a "baggage structure" is—but is that referring to the same building as in the later sentence "In order to make way for Grand Central City, a six-story baggage handling building was demolished in mid-1960"? If so, we don't need both sentences—certainly not in the form they currently take. Harfarhs (talk) 01:55, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Repetitious phrasing? 

message: A quick nitpick—International Style has some inconsistent capitalization, where sometimes it's fully capitalized and sometimes it's written as "International style". Based on the style's article, I think fully capitalizing it might be best.  talk 06:48, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
