Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:46, 21 September 2006

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)

• 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)
• 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)
