[edit] Metrocenter Mall

This article was speedy-deleted as CSD G11 spam. A DRV consensus overturned. This matter is submitted to AfD for full consideration, in particular concerning WP:V requirements. This is a procedural listing, so I abstain. Xoloz 17:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per precedent. Less notable mall articles have been kept. WP:V is not in my opinion a criteria for deletion; it is a criteria for improving the article. 23skidoo 18:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

  Comment WP:V is the primary criterion for deletion; if there's no verifiable information, there should be no article. (But no vote.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep 1.4 million square foot regional mall. Notable as first two level fuve anchor mall. Edison 20:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have made a few edits over the past few months and questioned the last speedy delete made, putting this very process in motion. I am also the author of WP:MALL which seeks to clarify notability guidelines for the shopping mall category. Given sufficient time I can provide multiple nontrivial outside sources to further support notability for this article, as this was a unique mall to the area, and nationally, at the time of opening and more than likely garnered several newspaper articles during planning, construction and opening - but I will need to perform library research to verify.--Msr69er 21:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I spoke by telephone with a reference librarian at the Phoenix Public Library who told me about a newspaper clippings file they have on this mall. There are several dozen clippings going back to 1973, mainly from the Arizona Republic, including a special pull-out supplement dated September 30, 1973. In the next 48-72 hours I will be looking at this file to see what sources are the best to use.--Msr69er 23:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Give WP:MALL a chance, hopefully it won't be bastardised the same way the school proposals have. Silensor 07:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
