[edit] Arborland Center

Arborland Center (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable mall in Ann Arbor. Only source is another wiki. A search for good sources found none. Makes a couple of unsourced claims and that's about it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

  • keep - I am impressed with the profit margin of 17 times the initial investment, although a Cite may be difficult stating the exact reason, I think that is notable that a property increases in value that much. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 04:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Another in the long list of not notable US malls. If return on initial investment makes something notable, then we have a lot of vacant land out here that qualify for articles. The mall needs to be notable. If the owner is a good businessmen, then the owner might merit an article. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
    • That's kind of the point ... the owner tore down parts of the mall (making it more like your vacant land) and thus increased the value of the property by a factor of 17. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 09:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete After a ten page search for "Arborland Center" Google found nothing, so I'd say it isn't notable. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 03:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Did you try "Arbourland Shopping Center" or "Arbourland Mall", plenty of GHits under thoes names. And as the Mall was "De-Malled" in 1994[1], all thoes names become viable search patterns for the following 13 years. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 09:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment I say keep now that sources have been added. The article still needs work, but it looks much better. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • keep Is sourced well enough to meet WP:N it appears. Hobit (talk) 02:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
