[edit] Atrium Mall

Atrium Mall (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable mall in Massachusetts, fails WP:RS Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep: What makes not notable? Although small in size this is a very successful shopping center consisting with 35 shops and 3 restaurants. It is a luxurious destination center in a very affluent bedroom community 3.5 miles outside of Boston, Managed by the world largest retail REIT. It's success, despite it's square footage, makes this mall not only notable it makes it a phenomenon.--Know_L Mall Guy (talk) 00:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: Another non notable mall. I wouldn't mind a redirect here though. Either way, it isn't notable. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Anarchia (talk) 20:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. One would think that the originator of this article would at least have bothered to mention the mall's anchor stores. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 21:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • There being no anchors is caused by the design of the building, as I have now mentioned and linked to in the Article. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 07:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - 2 RS Cites added. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 13:35, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Simply too small of a mall in the US to be notable. Vegaswikian 06:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • As I have mentioned before in several (1,2) other AfD's - Your basing notability upon size is not a viable argument, see WP:BIG. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 06:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

*Keep based on the sources added to the article which seem to just about establish notability. Davewild (talk) 19:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment - all the sources do is verify that the mall exists. How do they demonstrate notability? The only attempt is this "The Atrium is a Hotspot within the city" and I got interested when I saw this; a mall that is the hub of city's night life? No, it refers to having a WiFi hotspot!! Sorry, but that is a desperate attempt at notability and I have deleted it. TerriersFan (talk) 21:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
After another closer look at the sources have stricken my above comment, had not realisedthis source was a blog and not a reliable source. Davewild (talk) 21:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - lacks significant secondary sources so fails WP:N. Simply nothing notable about this mall and no evidence that anything notable ever happened here. TerriersFan (talk) 21:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
