The Oaks Mall, Florida

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable shopping mall, no claims of notability, no sources. My speedy deletion tag was reverted. Corvus cornix 03:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found some sources. --Eastmain 04:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for failure to assert notability. Theft at malls is hardly a rare or notable occurrence.  --Nonstopdrivel 06:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Notable enough on its own, theft doesn't enter into the equation. Realkyhick 07:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only evidence of notability is a single report of a theft. Does every victim of a robbery get an article on Wikipedia? Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk to me)  08:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It has over 900,000 square feet of gross leasable area, which makes it a "super-regional mall" per the ICSC . See also the views of several editors on notability of malls at the essay WP:MALL. Edison 16:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems notable enough at nearly 900,000 square feet, also has several reliable sources. I'll be bold and move this to The Oaks Mall (Florida), though. Move made to The Oaks Mall (Florida). Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eisdon and notability according to WP:MALL which this seems to pass. Burntsauce 23:03, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep large enough to qualify. All mall articles now will be smaller than they used to be, since the spam lists of stores are finally being removed.
 * but I do not see why speedy tags are being placed on articles that make some assertion of notability. Is it because of habit, or of a hope that sometimes one will slip through? DGG 02:43, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the assumption of good faith. The speedy tag was put on the article under the auspices of A7: Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content.  There are still no claims of notability in this article.  Not all shopping malls are notable, and if there is nothing in the article other than a list of stores, and doesn't say anything in the article about how this is different from any other mall, then, to my thinking, it merits an A7.

 * Which part of A7 does it fit: " real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content" ?DGG 01:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Company, obviously Corvus cornix 17:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Size and sources demonstrate notability. Alansohn 17:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:MALL as a super-regional mall with multiple sources. Yamaguchi先生 04:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
