Sanlitun Village

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Half empty article that is leaning dangerously close to About Sanlitun Village. See Duplication Detector Report Night of the Big Wind  talk  07:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - far too close; I've removed one paragraph that was a blatant copyvio from two sources. A quick look at gnews hits suggests there could be some notability. I didn't notice any obvious significant coverage, but there may be some in non-English sources. It certainly seems to be a well-known shopping centre in Beijing. -- Beloved Freak  12:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I lived in Beijing, working as a reporter. The building of Sanlitun Village was widely reported in local media. Moreover, it is a big and efficient shopping centre. So again as a reporter, it is good to be able to find English language info on it. More info on how much it cost an which architects built it would be even more helpful.

 * Keep based on Anothersixpence's comments (which I take in good faith). Need to get some sources though - if not in English, then at least in Mandarin. --Legis (talk - contribs) 08:53, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but mark as lake of reliable source, there seems to be plenty of mentions of the building in Chinese news, like this and this. Those news articles do read like advertisement of the property, but this article says the village is an exemplary street mall which may have some architectural design value.
