Bel-Air Centre

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Questionable notability. First source is a real estate listing; second, a personal website on drive-in theaters; third and fourth, press releases on stores opening and closing. I don't think the latter two are enough to carry this article, even though it does assert notability as being the only true shopping center within Detroit proper. It's also a strip mall, and precedent seems to be that strip malls are far less likely to be notable than enclosed malls or lifestyle centers.

Keep and rescue Looking at a search for sources, I believe some can be found. Dew Kane (talk) 04:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Google news search and Google book search shows some results. Things happen at the mall, it listed for them, thus a notable location.  A travel book, Explore Michigan: Detroit, list it among notable places to watch a movie.  As locations go, this seems notable enough.   D r e a m Focus  20:41, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not seem to be a major or regional shopping center. No outside coverage about the center itself. If kept, it should be renamed "Bel-Air Centre (Detroit)" to distinguish it from similarly-named center in Mobile, Alabama - and probably other places. --MelanieN (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete An address and phone number listed in Explore Michigan: Detroit are not significant coverage. No reliable sources with significant coverage found. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Does not come close to meeting WP:N.  The sources contain only trivial mentions of the subject.  Independent secondary sources with non-trivial depth of coverage are required to substantiate our required threshold of notability.  See also WP:NOTDIRECTORY.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep There are plenty of sources out there which cover this mall. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:00, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
