The Glades, Bromley (Shops)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Really deep WP:NOTDIR violation: this is an exhaustive list of every individual business that's ever been located in one particular shopping mall, sourced exclusively to land ordinance surveys. Was previously redirected back to the parent article on the mall itself, but the creator recently came back and recreated the original article again with no further explanation of why this is something that would belong in an encyclopedia. Delete as textbook case of what Wikipedia is not. Bearcat (talk) 02:37, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Articles about shopping malls on Wikipedia tend not to cover any tenants but the most important anchor tenants. A year-by-year, unit-by-unit table of mall tenants does not appear to be necessary for an encyclopedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * 'Delete, non-encyclopedic free advertising. A mention of the shopping centre would be appropriate in the article on Bromley, but this is not desirable. Mjroots (talk) 07:06, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lists of shopping mall tenants are not encyclopedic and violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY. This article is an extreme example. Nothing to merge. • Gene93k (talk) 15:20, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete but consider a transwiki to Wikisource. The information itself is reliable, it's just that it's too much of a directory to be suited for Wikipedia. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete (or transwiki) - UGH! individual retail spaces are not notable (or exceedingly rarely). This Article isn't talking about the Notable Property in its entirety. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 02:32, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
