Eastern Shore Centre

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non notable strip mall (ugh) "lifestyle center" in Alabama. "First lifestyle center in southern Alabama" does assert a slight degree of notability but besides that, this place fails WP:RS. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I dunno, happen to recall their being some coverage in the local papers about this shopping centre when it was announced/opened. 68.101.22.132 (talk) 02:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Local coverage isn't usually enough. All malls are notable to the towns they serve; general consensus on Wikipedia that a mall has to be notable in more ways than that. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, but I wasn't replying as to the question of notability. Don't know what discussion is going on there.   My comment is solely to the issue of reliable sources. There are at least two regional papers you can access with regards to reliable sources.  (The Press Register and the Pensacola News Journal, both of which have articles for themselves on Wikipedia).   may not be much, but I think it shows there are possibilities.  Probably also a number of local gov't reports and transcripts.  Large developments like this don't happen without planning and discussion.  68.101.22.132 (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. This shopping area is significant to a large area. It is part of a strong economic trend and can be well sourced. I'll add the sources as we go. JodyBtalk 12:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment There are several Mobile Register articles pertaining to Eastern Shore Centre's opening and development at the NewsBank of the Mobile Public Library's online site, unfortunately NewsBank is only available to card-holding library patrons, so linking to them probably wouldn't work.

 * Delete'. Simply too small per previous AfDs without notability.  Vegaswikian (talk) 20:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Your basing notability upon size is not a viable argument, see WP:BIG. Also, anything prooven "per previous AfDs", can also be dis-prooven "per previous AfDs" as the AfD process works on a case by case evaluation, not a This is and That isnt basis.
