Battersea Power Station has been confirmed as the name of the new area from the redevelopment of the old power station. Therefore, a new article is needed on the area. Simply south .... .. time, deparment skies for just 9 years 20:06, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the article begins
but the source cited is not at all reliable. It is a blog post at http://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/features/list/largest-brick-buildings-around-the-world-infograph , which does not discuss the topic at all. Instead, it announces an infographic published by another source, brickhunter.com, which appears to have been a commercial brick-procurement service, and which is now defunct. It provides an illegible, reduced-size version of the infographic. (A complete version is available from http://visual.ly/largest-brick-buildings-world .)
The original source was http://www.brickhunter.com/blog/largest-brick-buildings-in-the-world.html would surely not have been considered reliable even if it was still online. The infographic is described as follows:
which does not instil confidence: What if they measured wrong? What if they forgot about some brick buildings? http://www.catholic.org/travel/story.php?id=41790 , a source at least as reliable as the one cited, claims that the largest brick building in the world is the Cathédrale Ste-Cécile in Albi; this structure is not in the infographic's top ten.
I suggest we remove this extremely questionable claim from the article. — Mark Dominus ( talk) 15:02, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
I visited the power station as a young school boy from the near by Latchmere School in circa 1950 and after visiting the generator room with the its big green generators we were told that 73 million bricks was used to build Battersea Power Station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.77.88 ( talk) 17:34, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Is there a reason why this article's lead section now reads like a development company's new project pamphlet? This article, I note, passed as a good article ten years ago and sadly, it has been left to rot. I've not bothered with the rest of the article, but I would lay money on it that it is just as bad.

Bttersea Power Station has been a landmark of south west London. It was a power station up until 1983 when the last part of it was decommissioned. Whilst it has sat around derelict for decades, it wasn't until the early 21st century with the listed status and the development by a consortium of different companies that it has become its own neighbourhood as a mixed residential, commercial and entertainment complex. Now that the area has even gained its own tube station and the name not only refers to the power station but the surrounding buildings as well, it feels like this would be the right time to discuss some form of a split for the page.

How come there is no mention of the Battersea Power Station appearing in the Beatles' film Help! with the caption "A Famous Power Station"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 16:49, 14 May 2023 ( talk • contribs) 2601:283:8301:820:5073:2e22:484e:809b (UTC)
