which would normally be enough to establish notability. A previous and better version of this article was deleted at * 00:01, 24 November 2006 JzG (Talk | contribs) deleted "The Shops at La Cantera" (WP:CSD G11, spam,)

I would like the old version of the article restored and these references added to it. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 03:30, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Local business journals are almost NEVER a reliable source of anything except fluff and rewritten press releases -- not mention their purely local nature says bugger-all about global, national, or even regional significance. --Calton | Talk 02:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did some research and found that the article was deleted twice: the first time by JzG at 00:01 on November 24, citing CSD G11 spam; and the second time by Naconkantari at 03:24 on November 25, citing CSD A7. This is a bit disconcerning since I feel it should have gone through the nomination process. To restore the page back to its state before being deleted, we should use Wikipedia:Deletion_review. It seems that some of the information is missing from this new version. Clipper471 16:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Written like copy[edit]

A lot of this sounds like it was written as an advertisement... I don't think the term "shopping oasis" belongs in any encyclopedic article. Who's up for some rewrites? --BrandonR 02:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
