Abu Simbel (19+1)=20 A good wonder from Egypt. Easily recognizable for me.
Churches of Lalibela 24
Cologne Cathedral 21
Delta Works 12
El Capitolio (8-3)=5 Looks like the US Capitol, as well as other buildings.
Empire State Building 19
Great Mosque of Kairouan 21
Karlštejn Castle 18
Leshan Giant Buddha 21
Monk's Mound 21
Pyramid of the Sun 21
Saksaq Waman 21
Sri Harmandir Sahib 20
Tōdai-ji 19
 
Abu Simbel 20
Churches of Lalibela 24
Cologne Cathedral 21
Delta Works 12
El Capitolio 5 - 3 = 2 Again, this is not a wonder and is not even distinctive.
Empire State Building 19
Great Mosque of Kairouan 21
Karlštejn Castle 18
Leshan Giant Buddha 21 + 1 = 22 Well, we already have the Colossus and Cristo Redentor, and we'll probably have the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Zeus, so it looks like the game will potentially have four statues as wonders. I see no problem for another statue to be included, and Leshan Giant Buddha is too large and imposing and is still distinct from the other statues. I would love to see this in the game.

Tōdai-ji 20 (19+1) One of the best choices for a Japanese wonder and we need one.
 
Abu Simbel 20
Churches of Lalibela 25 (24 + 1) -- I hadn't heard of these before, but they are fascinating.
Cologne Cathedral 21
Delta Works 9 (12 - 3) -- Infrastructure isn't a wonder, IMO.

Delta Works 9-3=6 - It's just not a wonder.
Empire State Building 19
Great Mosque of Kairouan 21
Karlštejn Castle 18+1=19 - Because we didn't have any Czech or Bohemian wonder in any game, and this would be nice alternative to the "Disney castle" Neuschwanstein (which I also like, but there are many other castles worthy of including too, so we don't need to still repeat it. Same goes for Alhambra.).

Delta Works 6 - 3 = 3 (A large infrastructural city project, I can buy as a concept in Civ. But this as a wonder? Nope.)

Tōdai-ji 20 + 1 = 21 (Upvoting my favorite wonder on this list, a truly magnificent temple that was in Age of Empires II and still houses the world's largest bronze Buddha)
 
Abu Simbel 20
Churches of Lalibela 25
Cologne Cathedral 21
Delta Works 3 - 3 = 0 Eliminated. I would not call a large infrastructure of wonder. If we are looking for some Dutch wonder to include in the game, how about the Rijksmuseum?
Empire State Building 19 + 1 = 20 It would be cool as a game-ending wonder.

Saksaq Waman 18 (21-3) I'm not sure if need another medieval fortress wonder. Would be a nice addition though.
Sri Harmandir Sahib 21 (20+1) If it comes with the artificial lake and surroundings, this would look gorgeous on the map. And a wonder from a lesser featured and widespread, but nonetheless interesting religion.
Tōdai-ji 21
 
Abu Simbel 20
Churches of Lalibela 25 + 1 = 26 It's simply unique and incredible, this has to be included in the game.
Cologne Cathedral 22
Empire State Building 20
Great Mosque of Kairouan 15 - 3 = 12 I had never heard of it before, it seems to me to be a cool place, but it did not impress me that much.

Great Mosque of Kairouan 12-3=9 - It's just not interresting to me.
Karlštejn Castle 19+1=20 - Putting it back to the 20 club. We need more castle wonders other than Alhambra and Neuschwanstein.

Monk's Mound 21

Monk's Mound 9 (12-3) inferior to the Pyramid of the Sun. I think a Cahokia CS would be nice to return and that's it.

Sri Harmandir Sahib 22
Tōdai-ji 22

It's an interesting building as well, that's for sure - quite unique. It's hard to compare it with the gothic cathedrals though. When visiting or walking by, I'm always a bit appalled by the 'new' look of it's reconstruction (I think doing it was a very good idea btw) - for me, it probably needs 50+ more years to look good ;-)
