Asheville Mall
Not notable. Cookiecaper 00:26, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 03:03, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all malls unless world famous.   [ +t, +c ] 08:18, May 5, 2005 (UTC) I take that back: merge and redirect all malls unless world-famous. Redirects are cheap and fun.    [ +t, +c ] 08:50, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and allow for organic growth. Large public objects. Klonimus 08:32, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral. I'm much more tempted to vote Keep on malls that are upscale (read: have a "swanky kind of store" like Saks or Neiman-Marcus, which are fairly rare), and are major commerce centers in their cities, like Lenox Square in Atlanta, or the International Plaza and Bay Street in Tampa (an article I wrote, actually). If this is the main mall in Asheville, I'll probably vote keep, but it needs a lot more than this. Mike H 09:45, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, pending expansion. Mike H 11:08, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, failing that merge with Asheville. Kappa 10:14, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Asheville until there's enough material to warrant a seperate article. It would've helped if the author explained why it was so important in the first place. Mgm|(talk) 15:00, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Asheville --Canderson7 22:09, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Asheville, NC. --Carnildo 23:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or Delete, unless there's something special about this mall. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 05:05, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable, clearly defined subject. Mirror Vax 07:52, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect seems to make the most sense. The same probably needs to be done for Danbury Fair Mall, International Marketplace and a few others. Vegaswikian 06:08, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please it is verifiable and notable too Yuckfoo 20:44, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Is this a joke? It's a mall. Next we'll start getting articles on local Burger Kings. Gamaliel 20:47, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Contrary to the usual usage on VfD, notable does not mean "there is absolutely nothing to distinguish this from any other example of its general type in the world, but I want to keep this substub because I enjoy using Wikipedia as a spittoon".  &mdash;Korath (Talk) 01:42, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote. There were votes for deletion on another similar article about a generic-standard mall:Votes for deletion/Livonia Mall.  You can find evidence proving what vote to make on this one in that one.
 * Delete. Non-notable shopping mall, one of tens of thousands in the U.S. Quale 05:25, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Do not redirect, do not merge, do not pass go and collect $200 dollars. Neutralitytalk 00:47, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, NN. Radiant_* 09:33, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mackensen (talk) 03:42, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A mall with four anchor stores is almost certainly large enough to be encyclopedic. - SimonP 04:16, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
