Colonnade at State College

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Declined PROD. Non-notable outdoor shopping center. Google has few relevant results from outside sources.  Dough 48  72  03:30, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Week keep. Seems to be a notable shopping center for the State College area, although there is a limited number of sources to establish notability. Tinton5 (talk) 00:43, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - seems the most relevent source of Cites is paywalled; (perhaps the wayback machine could help, I haven't tried that yet). Cites do exist in major industry publications but claim to notability could be better. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 22:24, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It is decently notable for a shopping center. Cocoaguy ここがいい 22:35, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * There are many shopping centers similar to this throughout the country with a bunch of big-box stores, what makes this one so special?  Dough 48  72  19:56, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Inclusion of article is due to the center’s noteworthy proposed/planned/expected/etc. size and scope for the region. More notable than many other “lesser” (newer, smaller, etc.) open-air shopping centers on Wiki.  PSF1 (talk) 15:35, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * There are several similar-sized shopping centers like this in the Philadelphia area and other cities, and none of them have articles. Just because this is the only center in the State College area does not make it special.  Dough 48  72  18:48, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * They will be created eventually. Tinton5 (talk) 19:56, 26 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Notability is a threshold, not a competition. (That's why we have articles on both North and South Dakota, for example.) - Dravecky (talk) 01:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
