Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LaGrange Mall


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge to LaGrange, Georgia. Casting aside some WP:ILIKEIT, we have a single local source, which does not meet WP:N. But sure, mention it in the locality article, and if more sources turn up that actually talk about the place in any depth, we'll have the history and such. Shimeru (talk) 07:12, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

LaGrange Mall

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Absolutely fails WP:N. No secondary sources found that say anything more than "KB Toys closed here" or "The manager of the Chick Fil A here" -- nothing substantial AT ALL. Searches for both LaGrange Mall and West Georgia Commons turned up nothing. The singular secondary source is the only significant coverage I found at all.

 * Delete: nom has gone to some trouble to check out the sources. HeartofaDog (talk) 01:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: This may possibly be nontrivial coverage in a reliable source.  Narthring (talk  • contribs) 02:59, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, it was for a different mall in Illinois. Narthring (talk  • contribs) 03:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep: "it is the only mall in its immediate region, which has a population of just over 250,000"  thus I think it is notable, because it is a significant feature of the region.  I will admit that on the hierachy of malls, it doesn't rank high.  It appears to be located in an area where google news coverage isn't that great, so I suspect there are more sources which could be located to show notability that we just don't have easy access to.  Plus, deletion would hurt the feelings of the Chick Fil A manager mentioned by the nominator.--Milowent (talk) 17:19, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I emailed the LaGrange Memorial Library and the LaGrange Daily News in the hopes of finding someone to help with sources. We'll see.--Milowent (talk) 03:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey this is a 2nd Afd! - I just noticed it, Articles for deletion/Lagrange Mall, it was kept just in January 2010!. Apparently it was moved from Lagrange to LaGrange.--Milowent (talk) 21:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. Minimal, purely local sourcing (one article in the LaGrange news). Otherwise all I can find is directories etc. BTW the previous AfD was a non-admin closure and was more of a "no consensus" rather than a consensus to delete. The closing non-administrator then went on to cite WP:Other stuff exists as a rationale to keep the page! --MelanieN (talk) 00:48, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:OUTCOMES - larger malls (this is over 200,000 square feet) with three major anchors - are usually kept. I also do not like so many second nominations, so soon. Bearian (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Borderline case in my opinion but I think it should be kept if only because it passed the AFD a short time ago. Narthring (talk  • contribs) 03:26, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Existent sourcing is light but certainly there (local newspaper) There is no way that this didn't receive coverage when built in the local media.  That we can't easily get to such coverage shouldn't prevent an article when primary sources exist. Hobit (talk) 15:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into LaGrange, Georgia. Coverage may not be significant enough for a stand alone article.-- Pink Bull  20:57, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
