Hyde Park Village

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable mall in Florida. Only one source, sub-stub-class article, doesn't seem to even have any anchor stores. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 02:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Realkyhick 03:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for opening up this discussion. However the article in question does not describe it as a mall, rather as a shopping center. I have added a St. Petersburg times article to back up the existence of the place in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blaze33541 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment - actually, the article describes it as an "open air shopping center" in the first sentence, and as a "mall" in the second. Charlie - talk to me - what I've done  08:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Debating if it is a shopping center or mall is irrelevant and splitting hairs. Remember, the question at hand is that whatever you choose to call it, is the subject wiki worthy?  Postcard Cathy 12:13, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. "Mall" is to "shopping center" as "to-may-to" is to "to-mah-to". The added source doesn't seem to be that reliable -- it's from a newspaper, but it reads as a first-person account. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 12:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no claim to notability. Punkmorten 00:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Tampa Tribune calls it a "landmark" and it is the subject of multiple secondary sources in the both the TT and the St. Petersburg Times   (and many more).  Article could use expansion, but that's a content issue, not a notability one.  --Oakshade 06:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are many articles from the St. Pete times about this location. Thanks for noticing that as well Oakshade. The one article I used to cite the location proved its verifiability on its own. Apparently the other editors think it's up to them what type of newspaper article is valid enoughBlaze33541 01:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
