Tiger Town Shopping Mall

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Prod and my Prod2 declined without rationale by page's author. Mostly consists of a store list and unsourced OR. Absolutely no reliable sources found beyond trivial, incidental local coverage at the best.

 * Delete. Only in-article reference is Target's web site, which is kind of like using the website for Victoria's Secret as a reference for the Main Place Mall.  Aside from this, had to beef up the article to make it look like it could be notable. That said, I'm not seeing it.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 02:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Change !vote to keep per the nom's findings. Not often I see this.  Mental note: give TPH a barnstar for this one. =D  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 03:50, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I think the official name is the Tiger Town Shopping Center (not mall), which will yield more relevant search results. I'm not familiar with a specific guideline (since I recall WP:MALL failing), but I was able to find a release from the Opelika Economic Development authority (second find here) with some really detailed info about this project.  I also found a news blurb on the Montgomery NBC affiliate website.  Here is another story in a community paper.  I suggest if the article is kept, we move it to the proper name.  :)  //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 03:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per Blaxthos. Perhaps not my strongest motion ever to retain an article, but I think the sources out there are "good enough" and to some small degree this article serves to benefit Wikipedia and our readers.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  22:34, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a shame there isn't more readily available coverage of Tiger Town to use for sourcing, as it is actually quite an impressive shopping center given its rapid growth, aesthetics, and list of retailers. Despite the meager online sourcing, I believe the Tiger Town Shopping Center (article name change is needed) is notable and a decent article could be written. The site is substantial at 160+ acres and is a significant source of income for the local economy. -- auburn pilot  talk  04:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
