[edit] Beloit Plaza

A mall with no assertion, (or hint of) notability. Fails WP:CORP, the most relevent standard. I had prod'd this (and four others) after the deletion of Greengate Mall (discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greengate Mall), a n-n closed mall, but it was de-prod'd. I therefore suggest Delete.Inner Earth 22:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the first major mall in its area, built in the 60s, big anchors + very detailed, informative discussion of the site. Could use some references. --JJay 22:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. No notability stated or implied. The fact it was the first in the area is great, for the area. Nothing in its detailed history is unique or encyclopedic. Tychocat 01:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Being "the first major shopping center in Rock County, Wisconsin", in addition to weasel-worded ("major"?), isn't all that noteworthy even if true. --Calton | Talk 01:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. --Coredesat talk 03:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• This depends on what you want to do with the category "Shopping Malls in Wisconsin". I posted this article because Beloit Plaza was part of the posted list; most of the other malls listed are also not notable in and of themselves. As I was striving for completeness within the category, I would say keep it. However, if you choose to delete it, I would argue for deleting the category as well. DiogenesNY 04:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep IMO one of those cases of some minimally notable thing that we don't need an article on, but if someone bothers to write up a decent non-stubby encyclopedic article on it, leaving it here does no harm I can see, and article may be useful to a small audience. -- Infrogmation 17:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
