Yet another mall. Does not meet the notability guidelines for companies, WP:CORP, and its coverage is exclusively local which doesn't comply with the coverage requirements of WP:GNG ColonelHenry (talk) 04:23, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - This was tacked on at the end of the previous AfD discussion page; I moved it here. Ansh666 04:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:OUTCOMES, malls are almost always considered notable. The coverage is somewhat sparse but still present — the 200th anniversary article repeatedly mentions progress on the mall, and the story of the Sears closure is the kind of WP:SIGCOV that has been accepted in previous shopping mall deletion discussions. Compare Miami Valley Centre Mall, which is nearby and has a similar level of coverage. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:09, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * ETA: Compare ‪Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mall at Westlake‬, ‪Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Middlesboro Mall (Middlesboro, Kentucky)‬, Articles for deletion/Staunton Mall, which were all closed as "keep" despite similar levels of coverage. AFDs like that highly suggest that this level of coverage is sufficient to make a shopping mall notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

 * WP:OUTCOMES is not policy, just a user essay. WP:CORP is policy and it requires significant coverage. --ColonelHenry (talk) 06:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - Added Hoover's cite to bring closer to WP:GNG. Agree that WP:OUTCOMES should be considered here. VMS Mosaic (talk) 11:21, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Meets GNG, it can even be further expanded from what I can find.--Milowent • hasspoken  18:51, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think this meets GNG. In addition, I think WP:OUTCOMES should be considered. Malls are generally major commercial centers which makes them a notable part of the community. -- hmich 176 11:01, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
