Victory Park, Dallas, Texas

This appears to be nothing more than an urban regeneration development site and the article is written like a sales brochure for prospective tenants. The development may be impressive, but is it notable? Developments and urban regeneration schemes like this are going on all over America, all over Britain and, I guess, all over the world. What makes this spectacular other than it has some impressive tennants. This isn't a district or town, it is a commercial development within a district or town and therefore, unless evidence to the contrary (and I can't see any in the article) it is not notable and should be deleted from wikipedia.

 * Strong Keep Looks pretty notable to me, but I guess it could use some more sources. Move to Victory Park.  Ichormosquito 06:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * comment - they all seem to be local newspaper articles talking about a construction site in their locality.  All large construction sites would generate that sort of local coverage; it doesn't make it notable. B1atv 07:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I see nothing in WP:NOTE that disqualifies "local" coverage. The Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram are major newspapers.  Ichormosquito 17:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Texas-related deletions.   —Ichormosquito 19:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems as valid as any other neighborhood in Oak Lawn, Dallas, Texas, and presumably notable enough with the presence of the American Airlines Center and the W Hotel. Issues of tone can be dealt with.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 21:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources whown by Ichormosquito and elswhere, this is a significantly large development in a major city. As Elkman pointed out, tone is a reason to edit an article, not to delete it. --Oakshade 03:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up - The development is notable since it contains significant structures such as the AA Center. A clean up of the article's tone and structure would be better than deletion. Hydrogen Iodide (HI!) 06:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - It is a notable development. It needs clean up with tone and more referencing, but this can be solved by improving the article rather than by deleting it. Rai - me  15:57, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - put this article is in need of a major clean-up -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   15:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
