Nampa Gateway Center

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This one is kind of tricky... sure, there are a few sources out there, but except for some blurbs on the mall's JCPenney store, I see nothing dated later than 2006. The only other sources I could find were press releases listing possible future tenants and other speculative information. So far, this is about as complete as the article can get. Also, the lack of sources after 2006 is actually somewhat puzzling... Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I found at least two sources about the now completed center from 2008 --Oakshade (talk) 02:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment - Lack of sources isn't really surprising in this case. When a construction is planned, there is a flurry of news. During construction, things are usually quiet (if all is going well that is). Upon opening the news reports begin again. As the article states, "Completion is estimated by Spring of 2008". If it is accepted that it's role in revitalization lends notability, I propose we let this one ride and see what happens by middle of summer? At that time we can give it a procedural AfD to determing its fate. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  03:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep based on the size. I share the concerns raised by  Ten Pound Hammer .  Maybe tag with an expand or leave it as a future project.  I suspect that once the opening gets closer, there will be more sources.  Vegaswikian (talk) 03:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete for now. The subject doesn't actually exist yet, and is only a planned construction; and it doesn't seem a particularly notable one at the moment, judging by how little coverage it's received. If more sources are written about it as it nears completion, then it can be re-created, but we don't need this article just yet. Terraxos (talk) 04:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't exist? Here are two stories about it from the Idaho Press-Tribune and the Idaho Statesman regarding its current existence.


 * Keep - As mentioned above, not only does it exist, (contrary to "delete" voters above), it's the subject of secondary independent sources, the core criterion of WP:NOTABILITY. Being part of Nampa's revitalization is further evidence of notability. --Oakshade (talk) 02:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
