Dispute on notability of Westcor properties
At least two of the articles on individual properties listed in this article were deleted by an administrator citing a belief that they served more as directory listings, and were placed on Wikipedia as spam, rather than being legitimate articles of notable merit. I posted a complaint on the deletion review page. I am strongly inclined to post replacement articles. Shopping centers, in my opinion, are notable as per official guidelines for notability (WP:NOTE) and deserve coverage on Wikipedia.

It is generally known, by laypeople and scholars alike, that shopping centers are places of strong social, cultural and economic significance, especially in the USA. In the case of the Westcor properties, these malls are the economic engine that literally provides life or "death" to whole neighborhoods and communities. Neighborhoods in Arizona, as well as much of the Western United States as a whole, thrive or decline based on the health, or lack thereof, of their malls; such an critically important social phenomenon alone justifies the relevance - and unbiased inclusion - of such articles on Wikipedia.

Many "multiple non-trivial published works" are generated on a regualr basis through the news media to document historical and timely news developments concerning these malls. All of them can, and have been used in several cases, as reference material for these articles.--Msr69er 04:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Verify properties
The list of properties needs to be checked and verified.

I know for a fact that the "MetroCenter: Phoenix" listing is WRONG.

I live 1/2 a mile away from MetroCenter and it has not been owned by either Westcor nor Macerich for years!

So, please check, verify, and update.2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 21:39, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
