NN 409,316 sq. ft. mall. Was PRODed, but PROD was removed. Epeefleche (talk) 03:39, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sources have been added to the article to add to its notability as one of Victoria's first major shopping centres. Creativity-II (talk) 06:50, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Which of the refs you added do you believe, when taken together, reflect the requisite substantial coverage, that is not ordinary run-of-the-mill stuff that all non-notable malls have?
 * ref 1 (27-store mall opened, per local paper),
 * ref 2 (50th anniversary, per local paper),
 * ref 3 (a 6-word mention, within a parenthetical, within a sentence, as to not the mall--but the mall's location),
 * ref 4 (a photo??),
 * ref 5 (50th anniversary, per local paper),
 * ref 6 (a non-RS "shopinvictoria" ref)
 * ref 7 (a non-RS "Our Story" ref)

 * You probably won't think so, but all of them. Diminishing the additions to the article because you don't think they matter does nothing to diminish the article itself or its notability. Another thing I'd like to know is how you think neither the sixth reference (which backs 1, 2 and 5) nor the seventh (which confirms already well-known historic information) meets reliable sources standards in your view?

 * Selective merge to Victoria, British Columbia. While malls of this size are generally not notable enough for stand-alone articles, they do tend (as this one does) to have some local notability - and the sources we already have here, particularly local papers, are quite enough to justify a couple of sentences in the article on the locality.

 * Selective merge to Victoria, British Columbia. Coverage appears to be primarily local (e.g. ), so this doesn't appear to qualify for a standalone article per WP:AUD. NorthAmerica1000 23:19, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Selective merge to Victoria, British Columbia per PWilkinson and NorthAmerica. Not independently notable. --Bejnar (talk) 12:04, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
