Criteria
editWhat exactly are the criteria for this list? Would Lincoln Cathedral count? It is usually said to have been 160 metres tall until the spire collapsed in 1549. The remainder of the building survives, but the spire was never rebuilt. Other spires over 80 metres which have since collapsed include Malmesbury Abbey and Chichester Cathedral (since rebuilt). Do self-supporting chimneys count? For example, Tennant's Stalk in Glasgow was 132.7 metres and was demolished in 1922. The Port Dundas Chimney was 138 metres and was clearly demolished at some point, as it is no longer there - there are many more examples. If these structures are excluded, the intro should state that. Warofdreams talk 12:47, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Power stations
editShould demolished power station chimneys be included in this list? They are free standing structures. A couple of examples: Blyth B Power Station's chimneys stood at 170m and Drakelow C Power Station's chimneys stood at 168m. Fintan264 (talk) 14:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
