Park Lane (mall)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

NN 40-store shopping mall. Was PRODed; but PROD was removed. In addition to it not being notable, the consensus, as reflected in the discussion at "Common Outcomes; Malls", is that we don't generally retain stand-alone articles of smaller malls. Epeefleche (talk) 23:24, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep – probably tied with Scotia Square as the most notable mall on the Halifax Peninsula. Home to the only cineplex on the peninsula. Subject to past academic study for its effect on small businesses downtown, i.e. in "Urban Structure — Halifax: An Urban Design Approach" by Beverly Sandalack (ISBN 0929112423). Article was more substantial in the past before over 75% of the content was deleted by the nominator for concerns of Verifiability, despite the fact that while the policy dictates that content be verifiable, not ever minute detail need be explicitly referenced. I have limited time and no longer live in Canada, thus cannot access Canadian library resources, but hope to improve the article in the future if I am able. Wholesale deletion is not the answer.

 * Your OR that it is in your personal opinion that this 40-shop mall is probably tied as the most notable mall in the peninsula -- which is a community and planning area located in the urban core of Halifax Regional Municipality -- is not the sort of wp-guideline-based !vote that carries weight at a notability discussion.

 * This is a deletion discussion, and not a notability discussion. Whether or not the topic is wp:notable, the evidence that this topic is wp:prominent within a topic in the encyclopedia means that the topic is not eligible for deletion and you should withdraw your nomination.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep – probably enough to meet WP:GNG with the sources I have added. There are entire articles about the development in the Canadian Press/Toronto Star and in The Chronicle Herald, as well as at least a few sentences of coverage in several other publications (the Canadian Journal of Urban Research, Atlantic Business, and the Financial Post).
