[edit] St. Louis Mills

This is just a mall/shopping center, and I don't see how it's particuarly notable, so I think it should be deleted. --172.162.11.172 03:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Hang on a second. There is a whole category on properties owned by The Mills Corporation; see {{Mills corp}}. How can we delete this article while keeping the rest of the articles, nay, the whole subject? - Sensor 05:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This article is completely worthwhile. Like most articles on Wikipedia it needs to be enhanced. There has been no discussion on its Talk page, just one wild Deletionist again taking it upon themselves to remove what others are working to create. ContentLuver 06:32, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for now. General concensus is that this stuff is okay to be here (I don't agree but that's not the point). If people want to get rid of this stuff, there needs to be a fair bit of discussion with the aim of determining what to do with it all, not just scraps here and there without centralised discussion. --Qirex 07:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete. This is a completely interchangable, forgettable mall (I've been there many times), and right now this is a address directory entry. There's nothing encyclopedic to say about this particular mall, and this article right now runs afoul of WP:NOT. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 10:32, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. As long as its name appears on the template, it will likely just keep getting created again. I agree with Qirex, if we are going to get rid of it, we need to get rid of them all and merge with the parent article. --Holderca1 15:52, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's the store directory of a shopping mall, guys! Pilatus 17:17, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This is mere advertising copy. It's a directory and directions. There is no encyclopedic content here. If you're worried about recreation, then remove it from the template. (The fact that we've not yet deleted other equally non-notable articles is not justification to perpetuate the mistake.) Rossami (talk) 18:27, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nothing encyclopedic --JAranda | watz sup 18:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I have proposed a deletion for all the articles about individual Mills properties. See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Various "Mills" --Blackcats 19:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, it a shame that we let ingnorant people make deletion decisions. --Boothy443 | comhrá 20:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: I've removed the instructions on leaving the mall. Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. Also rephrased some POV and wordy language. Someone else should make the rest more time-resistent.- Mgm|^(talk) 20:52, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - otherwise it's just gonna be like a trash for years here. There are other pages much more notable and needing attention. Renata3 00:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean by "it's just gonna be like a trash for years here." --Holderca1 01:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

See Category:Cleanup from October 2004. There are a lot of trash around here and not enough mops. PMSing Renata3 03:13, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

While I certainly commiserate with your PMS and your disgust with the current state of that category, I don't think that's really a valid reason to delete this article. It's a reason to try to make some changes to the cleanup system, instead. --Jacquelyn Marie 03:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep shite malls. --SPUI (talk) 08:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Mills is on the leading edge of retail and the projects associated with them have a huge impact on communities, economics, and trends in retail. The article needs to be developed further. An article should not be deleted because it appears weak and someone therefore thinks it is not notable. Most articles start off small and need time to grow. This article has been growing due to the contributions of many users. It needs more time to develop. Information should be added about when it first opened, the retail concepts used, and what makes it unique. For those that want to delete this, please instead focus your energy on making articles in Wikipedia better, rather than trying to rip away the work of others. 24.240.204.226 19:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep revised version. Good edits, thanks. Unfocused 03:45, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Mgm's edits were quite helpful. See also my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Various "Mills". --Jacquelyn Marie 03:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nothing encyclopedic about this article - this leading edge of retail comment has more information than the actual article - Tedernst 21:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
