[edit] Forster Square Retail Park

A pair of non-notable strip malls. Nothing in this article is realistically verifiable, and strip mall covers this subject ably. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, the good people of Bradford deserve to be able to read about such an important component of commerce in their city. Also passes WP:CORP Kappa 06:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I'd have thought the good people of Braford would already know about this. Besides the above quoted WP:CORP says: "Since there is generally very little to say about individual stores or franchises that isn't true for the chain in general, we should not have articles on such individual stores." This is a just of collection of such individual stores. --Ricaud 07:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Great, so the good people of Bradford already know about this but the rest of the world can't share this information. By your logic we shouldn't have articles on franchises either, since they are collections of individual stores. Kappa 08:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Actually, what he just said, and what WP:CORP says, is that we should deal with collectives on a collective basis, instead of an individual basis. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. For a mall or retail park to be notable enough for an encyclopedia entry, it should be huge, like West Edmonton Mall, the Mall of America or the National Mall. ;-) -- Kjkolb 09:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per precedent that malls are not inherently notable. Given that the majority of the article is a listing of stores, there is no assertion of notability of this mall. —C.Fred (talk) 14:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not Google, Yahoo, or the local chamber of commerce. The Good People of Bradford, et. al., would go there for information about this place long before they came here, and would find much more useful information than what's here. --DarkAudit 16:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
