Southgate Shopping Center

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable strip mall. No useful sources other than local newspaper articles mentioning new or closing businesses. Article reads like a business directory with no useful information. —Notorious4life (talk) 18:22, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Comment: I'd rather vote to move it to draft for further working. Still needs improvement to fulfill clauses of WP:NBUILD. Lunar Clock (talk) 12:23, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep According to this source, Southgate, Michigan was named after the shopping centre. I'd say that satisfies "historic, social, economic, or architectural importance" for WP:NBUILD.Pontificalibus 12:37, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: In my opinion, being the source of a name of something does not create notability for the original source itself. If that were the case, anyone and anything that ever lent its name to any settlement would inherently be notable in itself.  —Notorious4life (talk) 19:17, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep this level of coverage has been deemed sufficient for the notability of shopping malls per WP:OUTCOMES. Article can stand to lose some weight, but the coverage is clearly long-lasting and non-trivial. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:49, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   22:04, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I've found that most mall pages on Wikipedia remain, even those that are more anemic that this one. (See: Yuba Sutter Mall. KidAd (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Though perhaps a little more notability establishment will help in the long-run.TH1980 (talk) 04:22, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Somewhat non notable shopping centre but does have some coverage, there are a lot of mall pages on Wikipedia though. Dellwood546 (talk) 18:58, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to the article on Southgate, Michigan. We have no good reason to cover with two articles what could all be lumped into the article on the place.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
