Cargolifter uprighter3/19/2023 ![]() Then i was told that the Yakima Sundome (of which dimentions i cannot locate) is now the largest concrete dome in the world. Im not exactly up on my facts, but I was always told that the Kingdome in Seatle Washington was the largest concrete dome in the world at 660 ft. Astronaut 10:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Reply Is it worth mentioning the Volkshalle? This proposed building in Berlin was to have a huge 250m high dome, but it was never built. Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.157.195.240 ( talk The ratio of its thickness (an average of 8 cm) to its radius is less than that of a chicken egg. The dome is a unique construction that supports itself without girders or columns. The principal construction of Novosibisk theatre's building is the big dome, 60 meters wide and 35 meters high. ![]() Should this not be the world's largest cast iron dome, finished in 1871, it is eliptical in plan, with major and minor axes of 83 m (272 ft) and 72 m (236 ft) and 41 m (135 ft) high.? No further edits should be made to this section. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. Truthanado 17:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Reply The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Until then, List of world's largest domes should remain an independent article. Perhaps someday there will be a "List of world's largest building parts" and we can include largest domes, along with largest roof, largest archway, largest window, largest room, etc. A dome is a part of a building while all of the sections in the List of largest buildings in the world deal with complete buildings. It also contains several ancillary lists, such as largest domes by structural type, largest domes by continent, and other famous domes (which seems out of the scope of the article title, but whatever). However, its first list is a list of domes that have held the title "world's largest dome" at some point in history it is not a list of the largest domes currently. Regards Gun Powder Ma 22:28, (UTC) Reply If this article were really a list of the world's largest domes, I think it would fit well in the List of largest buildings in the world. This is very much against common WP practice. We need one article for each topic, and not a hyperlong article on such an overly broad concept as "The world's largest building", under which very different buildings are stuffed indiscriminately. It will be more visible if it is on world's largest buildings then it is here as this page has currently no links on the major search engines while the largest building article has 160 according to - Jorfer 14:58, (UTC) Reply I am against the proposal for the above reason. The world's largest building article has enough space to where this can be a section of it. I am proposing the merger now instead of being bold and merging it myself. Regards Gun Powder Ma 22:38, (UTC) Reply Please refrain from trying to subordinate this article to another one where it simply does not belong to. There is an article titled "dome" which is universally recognized as having a right to exist as an independent article, hence we have every reason to assume that an article concerning the "world's largest domes" has every right to exist as an independent article, too. The result of the proposal was no merge.- Jorfer 22:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.
