Trail Dust Town

Doesn't seem to be notable. Interesting history, but I'm finding no real sources to back it up. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 13:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 306 news articles and 29 book mentions. It's a lot of coverage but it's all kind of tourist-oriented ("After dinner, walk around Trail Dust Town and enjoy the shops")... as you might expect of a touristy place. I added a source... but I'm not sure it it's enough to keep the article. It needs to go beyond sources that just say "When in Tuscon, be sure to visit Trail Dust Town..." but it does seem to be a theme park with 40 years of history. --Rividian (talk) 14:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep fairly notable as a local/regional tourist attraction (as opposed to just another mall). Needs expansion, but I think the core notabiity is there. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Madmaxmarchhare (talk) 16:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC) Trail Dust Town was once a movie set and is now a bonafide tourist attraction in Southern Arizona. It points to the many westerns that were made during that genre's heyday and also acts as an outlet for locally-grown beef, which is a rarity in this country. On top of that, the museum that exists on the grounds would, by itself, be a notable inclusion beause it concentrates on local settlers and forts.
 * Keep I hate seeing articles on shoping malls. What is so notable about being a collection of shops? However, it is getting coverage per WP:GNG. .  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 17:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
