[edit] South Coast Plaza/Directory

del a list of businesses at a South Coast Plaza. Wikipedia is not Yellow pages. Who's going to maintain the correctness of this list forever? Mukadderat 22:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. This article completely lacks context as it doesn't even advise where the South Coast Plaza is. While that mall appears to be notable, its tenants aren't. Capitalistroadster 01:37, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, WP:NOT, unencyclopedic. --Terence Ong 04:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: The article was created to get the listcruft out of the original South Coast Plaza article. I thought that removing the directory as a whole might be too WP:BOLD, so that's why this page was created. It is notable, as are its tenants - and the question of maitenance isn't one that I often see in question - anyone can edit it, therefore anyone can maintain the correctness of this list forever. Therefore, I ask if it might not be better to merge back to the original page in an abridged form (see King of Prussia Mall or keep and expand lead-in (which I'll go ahead and do right now for the sake of argument)
  • "Anyone can edit", but why would anyone want to? In don't think there is a crowds of volunteers to edit, unlike George Bush or Penis articles. I can see it from the amount of red links on the page (and 25% of blue ones point to irrelevant pages, being non-disabmiguated). I bet my moustache that 40% of them will be out of business in next 6 months. This information is bound to be outdated, not to say of dubious notability: are we going to list every Pizza Hut and every Nordstrom outlet all over the world? If not up to date, the page is basically useless (more precisely, people would rather not use it as a reliable source) Mukadderat 04:55, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
