 *  ADVICE NEEDED - Article requested as a answer to a request Please advise what route should be taken.  This has been on several Talk pages already.  This was an answer which was derived at.  Another main article (city) was getting very lengthy, so the shopping malls were put into a list and a category created.  The malls were also attempted in a (neighborhood) articles which also was felt by Wiki editors to be getting lenghty.  Malls with photos and primary source information had articles written, some were started as stubs.  This was a request put out to start articles especially if it had a photo  It does conform to Wikipedi's s as it has encompassed these three.  (Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research)  What seems to be the issue here is Notability (organizations and companies).   Shopping malls of various types are found in large and small communities, and are part of what defines a community.  Studying mall locations and amenities shows a suburb's or subdivision's inclinations, and desires for their particular convenient desire for example if the small strip mall contains a dry cleaning service or laundromat service for instance.  The shopping mall started out in the city article, then moved to the neighborhood article and then an article of its own.  This is an example of a Strip mall.  It is not one of many Power centres, Shopping mall or Shopping mall so it may not be notable because it is not big, and it does not serve a big neighborhood.  However it is important to the residents of that community and it is an example of that species.  There are many examples of the species defined at power centres, and none of the species defined at Strip mall.    SriMesh |  talk  22:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Things interesting to the immediate area are outside our scope. The requirement which it fails is RS: there are no non-trivial sources. There can be a general article on strip malls, but it is a very rare one which would be notable. I would include it in an article for the neighborhood; I'm not even sure from the article which neighborhood it would go it, but none of the sampled neighborhood articles seem too long to accommodate a mention. I know this is not a formal consideration, but the existence of Google Maps (and similar) have removed whatever need might have been felt to include articles like this. DGG 05:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There is more discussion at Articles for deletion/Westgreen Shopping Plaza (Saskatoon) and changes have been made to the list and neighborhood articles so there are not stubs about smaller strip malls hanging around and about, but rather paragraphs like a discussion would be better, and WP:MALLS has some good notes to follow also, but not about notability as of yet.SriMesh | talk  04:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comment there have been some changes made to the List of Shopping Malls see the discussion at Articles for deletion/Westgreen Shopping Plaza (Saskatoon) for further notes.
