Oakdale Mall

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I stubbed this article a while back to remove a highly promotional tone, but on second thought, this mall seems to have nothing going for it. The only sources I could find were very trivial mentions if at all, so this mall fails WP:RS. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC) Withdrawn, even though the article still hasn't improved much, I'm withdrawing because the precedent is against me. One halfway-decent source has been provided to establish that the mall meets super-regional classification, which is rapidly becoming a criterion for inclusion.

 * Keep This is a super-regional shopping mall with nearly one million square foot gross leasable area, thus satisfying the nominator's self-described precedent on retention of malls meeting the ICSC super-regional size standard. Alansohn (talk) 05:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I just said that Towne Mall didn't meet the precedent, I didn't say I agreed with the precedent. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And by continuously refering to one, your leading others to believe that a precedent exists and has consensus, when you know that none does. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  03:33, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - 1 million sqft makes it notable. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  09:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. super-regional malls are notable. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 20:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep what gives with the bias against malls? How silly can you get.  Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 21:23, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no bias against malls whatsoever, just against stub articles on them that barely assert notability if at all. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:58, 18 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Perhaps it is time to revive WP:MALL?  In any case, this one would fit the bill.  RFerreira (talk) 05:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
