Not speediable
Let's take another look at CSD A7--this article asserts importance quite clearly, so it is not speedy material. I can assure you I am aware of the criteria for speedy deletion since I go around deleting stuff all day. If you want to take this up at AfD, go ahead. Irongargoyle 01:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right. My mistake. I've removed the tag. Fan-1967 01:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it DOES need to be removed, as references from this site are NOT credible according to jerkoffs like you two claiming so. That means you either need to remove this "non-credible" site off wikipedia, or quit saying info on their site is non-credible.

 * It is entirely possible for a website to be considered notable, but where the information contained on it is not suitable for use as a reliable source on Wikipedia. The two are completely separate concepts and should not be confused.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Notability?
While Irongargoyle is quite right that the article doesn't meet A7, I'm not clear on how it is notable. Both source mentions are "in passing" (though I'll take a scan through the NPR piece to see if it details the site some more.) Even that wouldn't be multiple non-trivial mentions, however, and the first source is a "mention in passing"-unquestionably trivial. Seraphimblade 01:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I posted another reference and removed the tag. I agree that the Kansas City Star reference is in passing, but not the NPR reference. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reference is definitely not in passing either. This should now pass WP:WEB. Best, Irongargoyle 01:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The Post-Gazette is quite in-depth, and it sounds like the full NPR story is as well. Seraphimblade 01:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Deadwebsites.com
What else is there to be said? Deadmalls.com is a dead website. It sports the same gloom of better-days-gone-by as the malls they "highlight". Most of the information they post has dates on it from the mid-oughts.

The subject's notability was marginal from the start, but now it's just over and done.
