Sunnybrook Plaza

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a minor suburban strip mall, not referenced to anywhere near enough reliable source coverage to make it notable. Of the 29 footnotes here, 17 of them are to the self-published websites of either the mall owner or individual businesses located in the mall, which are not notability-supporting sources as they aren't independent of the mall. Three more are to Urban Toronto and BlogTO, local urbanism blogs -- and all of the remaining nine references are to the neighbourhood's local pennysaver, which would be fine used more sparingly as one source amid a mix of solid sources, but is not widely distributed enough to count as a WP:GNG pass all by itself if it's the strongest source in play. Stripmalls are not automatically presumed notable just because they exist -- a topic like this would have to clear WP:CORPDEPTH on the basis of much wider coverage than just its own local neighbourhood weekly, but there's no evidence of that here.

 * Delete one of those articles with a ton of sources to sift through, but Bearcat seems to have it right: no sources convey independent notability. SportingFlyer  talk  05:01, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
