Great Mall of Las Vegas

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Current sourcing is as follows:
 * 1) Sources 1-3 are all rehashes of the same initial announcement
 * 2) Source 4 is from 2011, announcing that someone else bought the land
 * 3) Source 5 is 404 and does not appear to have been an RS anyway
 * 4) Sources 5, 7, and 8 are about other retail properties, and only passingly mention that the mall was canceled

In short, there is no WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the mall's cancellation. Just one smattering of sources when it was first announced, and another smattering when it didn't. None of it was ever built, and only two stores were announced. Just like Articles for deletion/Trillium Circle, literally all we can say is that it was never built and someone else owns the land. There is zero evidence in a WP:BEFORE of long-term sustained coverage. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:19, 25 June 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete Redirect to Triple Five Group. It's a mall that was announced but never completed. It's also already sufficiently covered in a paragraph on the Triple Five Group page. Cielquiparle (talk) 21:44, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep There are many of article of proposed projects, such as casinos, in Las Vegas that were proposed but never built. I think this one should be kept too, especially since it was fully-confirmed to begin construction until it was cancelled. I found a source from 2019 about the site being used for new housing developments. Waddles 🗩 🖉 02:57, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree that List of Las Vegas casinos that never opened is useful. If there were a similar list for malls that never opened, or for projects that were canceled due to the 2008–2009 financial crisis and recession, the Great Mall of Las Vegas should definitely be included there. As a canceled project, it just doesn't merit its own standalone article (and arguably should not have had its own page to begin with). For now I've added the detail about the site having been approved for new housing development to the Triple Five Group page. I think the solution is just a simple redirect.

 * Keep Several sources have been added in the last week as to the proposal and ultimate fate of the land which would have contained it.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:47, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
