This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Malls. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Shopping malls|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Malls. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Misplaced Pages's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Malls

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete - by consensus and rebuttal of Kappa's comment. Also JYolowski's comment that it is verifiable and NOR, doen't mean that it passes notability.Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 07:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Park City Center

Non-notable shopping mall that isn't even really a mall: it's a shopping center that is only partially enclosed. (Here's a pic.) Its only claim to fame seems to be that it's the "largest enclosed shopping center in south-central Pennsylvania". I repeat, south-central Pennsylvania. wikipediatrix 21:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep South-central Pennsylvania's got a million people in its own right. Even if it didn't, at over a million square feet, it's still large enough to warrant notability. Nearly every recent mall AFD has closed as keep or no consensus. Kirjtc2 23:07, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

This seems more of a shopping center to me. And I've seen several mall AfDs end in deletion.

• Keep, how are we supposed to make an encylopedia of retail outlets activity in south-central Pennsylvania without covering this? Kappa 00:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is WP:NOT a directory of retail outlets. Do you consider all retail outlets in south-central Pennsylvania notable for Misplaced Pages, then? Why? wikipediatrix 01:22, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Normally, I'd assume that Kappa's comment was a joke, but then, it's Kappa making it. Why in God's name would this be a good idea? --Calton | Talk 02:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

All verifiable malls are notable enough to be considered part of the sum of human knowledge and to deserve an encylopedic treatment. I will substitute "outlets" with "activity" since I'm not so bothered about corner shops and 7-11s. Kappa 02:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Really? Why not? If they have verifiable data... JoshuaZ 02:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, verifiable and not OR. JYolkowski // talk 02:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC) Actually, maybe a merge to Lancaster, Pennsylvania would be good too. JYolkowski // talk 02:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Utterly non-notable shopping mall, and this not being the Yellow Pages, no reason to be here. The alleged superlative only indicates that if you draw your boundaries narrowly enough, you can claim nearly anything: "The largest enclosed shopping center in Lancaster County!", "The largest enclosed shopping center in Lancaster, Pennsyvania!", etc. --Calton | Talk 02:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As a non-notable shopping center. JoshuaZ 03:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Malls-related deletions. -- Kappa 04:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• KEEP and do not merge, all retail stores in Lancaster, Pennsylvania are notable and deserve articles. --ForbiddenWord 18:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Is that a serious claim? Do you think that any random retail store is notable and deserves an article? JoshuaZ 01:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No independent non-promotional coverage to establish that this isn't just another set of four walls and a roof. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notable to people from and around Lancaster, Pennsylvania. bbx 01:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

  Could you please add references to the article to substantiate this claim? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Malls are in the business of renting space to retail outlets. That makes WP:CORP the applicable standard. No assertion or evidence of meeting WP:CORP through coverage about the mall in independent reliable sources. GRBerry 12:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • ... Kappa 12:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Yet another shopping center that is so lacking in notability that we will never have credible, third-party sources to verify the information here. --Satori Son 00:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Article provides no claims of notability. — pd_THOR | 01:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Like usual, User:Kappa makes an excellent case for inclusion. Clearly just a stub at this point, but that is no reason to delete an article on a local retail center with potential interest for encyclopedia readers. --JJay 03:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Malls are not generally notable, or are we soon going to do articles on every friggin mall, store, etc on the planet. •Jim62sch• 12:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Arbusto 02:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a failure of the criteria of any morphing of WP:CORP.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 21:18, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CORP. And at the risk of being redundant: my cornerstore currently sells cigarettes and is open until midnight. That is well-known information to people in my neighborhood. How will we ever document cornerstores in Quebec City if we don't include that cornerstore? Pascal.Tesson 04:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  I don't think anyone will feel betrayed if you don't document cornerstores in Quebec City. Kappa 04:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  Then why have articles about semi-enclosed shopping centers with no apparent third-party coverage or analysis? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Naconkantari 22:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination... local shopping center with no credible claim of notability.--Isotope23 15:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

V-Mall

non-notable shopping center. Nekohakase 18:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: The article as it currently exists doesn't add anything of value, and reads like advertising. This might potentially be salvaged if some kind soul went through, cut out all the trivial details about individual stores, and re-focused the article on the major software piracy ring that was based there (as described in this link, among other places). Even then, it'd be borderline, though. -Hit bull, win steak 18:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge (partially) into Greenhills Shopping Center. Kappa 23:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletions. -- Kappa 01:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)"

*Delete as a non-notable mall. Malls are almost inherently non-notable and nothing here is at all a claim to notability. JoshuaZ 03:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC) Smerge Since there is a logical target article. I'd rather not have it either but we might as well stick this there for now. JoshuaZ 23:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Malls-related deletions. -- Kappa 04:04, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

• Merge (partially) and redirect to Greenhills Shopping Center per Kappa. Silensor 02:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• So this isn't an entire mall, it is a piece of a mall, which also has its own article (rightly or wrongly). Smerge to the real mall per Kappa. GRBerry 12:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect --Peta 04:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
