Wenatchee Valley Mall

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Only mall within an 80-mile radius of its town, but that doesn't really make it all that notable. This page was previously up for deletion a year ago with a result of no consensus; during the previous discussion, I made a sort of WP:HEY attempt, and added a few sources. However, source 1, 7, and 8 seem to be press releases; source 2 is a real estate listing; source 3 is a trivial PDF from the International Council of Shopping Centers; source 4 and 5 are primary; source 6 is an editorial column. Therefore, I feel that this mall fails the reliable source test. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep assuming the Wenatchee Business Journal isn't a press release, there seem to be a lot of news stories about the mall... as the major shopping center for 200,000 people it seems notable on a regional scale. --Rividian (talk) 13:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:20, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. This organization does not meet my understanding of Wikipedia's generally accepted inclusion criteria.  While the google search does pull up a number of mentions of the mall, very few of them are primarily about the mall.  Most are about stores which happen to be at the mall or about the downtown area where the mall is located.  Rossami (talk) 23:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is a notable shopping center, precedent on wikipedia seems to point out that we should keep these articles.Myheartinchile (talk) 23:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
