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

This article has previously been deleted at its previous AfD discussion. I say that the article still reads too much like an advertisement and contributes nothing to wikipedia in its present form. Richard Cavell (talk) 23:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The article has now been improved far beyond its previous form, and I thank Dravecky for that. I withdraw my nomination. - Richard Cavell (talk) 11:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - rather obviously notable. A 1-million square foot, 150-shop mall is a of major regional economic importance, and is certain to have plenty of significant mentions in reliable sources if one bothers to look.  In a quick google search I find this article devoted entirely to the history of the mall, another complete article devoted entirely to the mall, this fairly significant mention - it was one of nine malls that sold for $750 million total in a 2001 deal, and several dozen less significant mentions - you'd have to look at some of the sources.  With a little more searching you can probably find many more.  I fail to see how mentioning the mall is in any way an advertising.  The article is a mini-stub, and unsourced, but it contains a kernel of encyclopedic content, we improve rather than delete short articles.  The effort spend in discussions on an AfD could easily have gone to fixing the article.  Wikidemo (talk) 00:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand per Wikidemo. There seem to be multiple reliable sources present. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 11:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as the article, which I have significantly expanded and sourced, now easily clears notability and verifiability. - Dravecky (talk) 10:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
