Rhode Island Mall

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

From the text, this mall has less than 10 stores open in a two story mall and is dying. It seems to have no assertion of notability and be more of a comparision between this mall and the more notable Warwick Mall. Does not appear to meet WP:N. Doesn't even have a website.

 * Delete I'm a Rhode Islander and I can confirm that there is only 10 stores in the whole mall. This article is full of original research and a comparison of the near-by (literally in walking distance) Warwick Mall.

 * Keep per this and a few other sources. The latter source claims it to be New England's first two-story mall; if that ain't notable, I don't know what is. I'll fix up the page once I'm awake. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Thanks to TenPoundHammer it has the sources to just barely pass WP:N according to those guidelines (I didn't know that Deadmalls.com could be used as a source, because otherwise I would've fixed up this page a few months ago when I initially came across it). The original research has been cleaned up and the comparison has been taken out. It's certainly dying (I was in there a few days ago. I still have no clue how its still staying open). I really need to start finding sources for AfDs especially for things like this that are so close to me.  Doc StrangeMailbox Orbitting Black Hole Strange Frequencies 15:23, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's weird, one of the sources has been hacked. Oh well, I'll leave it in for now, surely it'll be fixed soon. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I could easily add the deadmalls.com source which is here to the page. Doc StrangeMailbox Orbitting Black Hole Strange Frequencies 17:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Ten Pound Hammer's efforts to improve the article. Bravo!  NOTE: Iad to remove the associated content link from TPH's post as it was preventing me from saving the page and was taking me to some spam filter error page instead.
