Centerpoint Mall
There is nothing unique about this mall, nothing that architecturally, socially, or economically seperates it from any other mall. Violates WP:NOT, speicifically: promotion. Delete Yanksox (talk) 20:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I am generally in favour of keeping shopping centres - if they show some notability (generally, this means they at least are quite large or form the central activity centre of a town or sometihng similar). I lean towards the keeping of schools nowadays, but there is a difference between a (usually) perpetually operating school, and a non-notable shopping centre which is at the whim of market forces. If it is very large or heritage-listed for example, it is less likely to have notability problems. Nothing of the like is given here. Jammo (SM247) 23:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per WP:BIAS. Good Lord, it's bad enough that we let schools slip in, but shopping malls? ~ trialsanderrors 23:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Actually shopping malls are notable. They're good indicators of a region's economic status and the consumer purchasing behavriour.  Some malls, like the Mills, Mall of America, or West Edmonton Mall are major tourist attractions, drawing millions of customers each year.  For example, the Toronto Eaton Centre is the biggest tourist draw in Toronto and has helped reshape the cultural and retail landscape of Toronto's downtown for some 25 years. --Madchester 00:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The fact that there are notable shopping malls doesn't imply that shopping malls are notable. Just because we have an entry on the Rolling Stones doesn't make any stoner band notable. ~ trialsanderrors 00:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. You go ahead and AFD Toronto Eaton Centre or Don Mills Centre if you think malls are not notable. Cheers. --Madchester 00:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Looking at the article that might just be the Rolling Stones of shopping malls. Or at least the Rush and Saga of shopping malls. ~ trialsanderrors 00:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. I live 10 mins. away from this mall, but it's not a particularly large or important one in the Greater Toronto Area. Smaller malls like Don Mills Centre are notable, since it was among the first of its kind in a planned community in North America during the 1950s.  As an aside, the mall should be spelt "CentrePoint Mall", per Canadian English spelling. --Madchester 00:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I give up on my hyper-inclusionist view of very mall ever as socio-economic blahblah, as it was not worth the wiki headache (CrazyRussian and Yanksox know what I am talking about :) ). I agree with Madchester, however, that malls that show some notability/superlative should be kept. This one just merely exists.  young  american  (ahoy-hoy) 03:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I live next door to this one and its not notable nor very big or useful, all of the people I know who work in it make fun of it and call it crappy, which it is. Highlandlord 00:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
