Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of shopping centers in Herndon, VA

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was MERGE to Herndon, Virginia. On raw numbers, this is below the guidance of two-thirds. Those who would delete it do not really persuade me that I should lower the threshold in this case (apart from the nominator's point about proliferation). They just cite "non-notable" which, being such a common reason does not stand out as a case for deletion at less than two-thirds. However, to simply keep the article would be to defy the intent of every editor's comments, so I will merge it. -Splash 22:53, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

List of shopping centers in Herndon, VA
A comment from the (now removed) speedy tag says "Many of these are not even in Herndon". More to the point, is Wikipedia a place for lists of shopping centres, and is the currency and accuracy of information here maintainable if so? Remember that major urban areas might have thousands of shopping centres and strip malls. Denni &#9775; 21:19, 2005 September 4 (UTC)
 * delete for reasons I gave on the last "mall" nomination. Nandesuka 22:23, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think articles like these are useful in that they provide merge targets when people write articles on individual shopping malls. Alternately, a merge and redirect this article to Herndon, Virginia works for me too.  JYolkowski // talk 22:33, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Herndon, Virginia, but don't make them editable links. Zoe 23:54, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No need to merge to Herndon, Virginia as malls aren't encyclopedically notable. Quale 04:25, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Quale. A list of things that are not in themselves notable isn't notable. Marskell 17:46, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Herndon, Virginia. Keep them in list format - but no need to make them links - they aren't important malls like Tysons Corner Center. CrazyC83 04:16, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Dennis. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business directory!---CH  (talk) 00:34, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
