Talk:City Mall

Notability
How do you know that all these malls that you have removed aren't notable?  Schwede 66  09:11, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * What proof has been established so far? There is no mention of a City Mall in the Baku, Guayaquil or Beirut articles (even though there is a nice photograph of one). I thought notability was not inhereted? Ajf773 (talk) 18:08, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * They are far-away places where English isn't the first language, so coverage by WP articles is sparse. I see no harm in having these links, as they do little harm and may inform users who just wikilink 'City Mall' and end up here where they can see that the article doesn't exist yet. In my opinion, the links should stay until somebody with local knowledge comes along and says "does not meet notability criteria".  Schwede 66  01:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they can be included again if there is a mention on the relevant articles. Theres already a section Baku and at least one primary source . Whether eache passes WP:GNG I wouldn't know. Ajf773 (talk) 17:52, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * As a great maintainer of dab pages, would you have some advice to offer?  Schwede 66  18:01, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Dabs are essentially indexes of what we already have on Wikipedia. Entries don't need to be notable, if we have a mention of them somewhere, we use the dab page to help readers find the information we do have (see MOS:DABMENTION). It's easier for a reader to see from the off that we have nothing than to be given a redlink and a link to the city, spend their time looking through that article on the city for info on the mall to no avail. If there's a sensible way to add them into an articleso they meet MOS:DABMENTION, then they could be added back in. Other possibilities are to suggest them as WP:AFC articles for creation, or WP:WTAF write the article first. Thanks for the message, Boleyn (talk) 07:40, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
