non notable mall, with little to no information actually in the article. ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 19:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

• keep notable mall.[1] [2]. Article includes basic information, goes beyond being a directory entry. Sufficient sources certainly seem to exist here. --W.marsh 19:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - nothing to distinguish this from many other undistinguished malls and no definite secondary sources in the article to establish notability. TerriersFan 23:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Most malls offer curling? --W.marsh 23:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Fair point - however, none of the sources indicate that the ice rink is integrated with the mall or confirms its importance. Notability is more than existence being shown; it needs secondary sources to confirm its significance. If the necessary sources can be produced then I will change my view.

      • Well there is a secondary source, but unfortunately it requires a subscription/fee to view the entire article. Still, I think it does confirm what I added. --W.marsh 23:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per W.Marsh. This is more than a directory listing. --Oakshade 23:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete- there is nothing here to suggest that the mall is notable. Thunderwing 18:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep - there are many articles about local malls in the "Golden Horseshoe" (so says the template at the bottom). Virtual Cowboy 11:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep The ice rink seems to make it unique in terms of shopping malls, but I would like to see a non-local secondary source.--Xnuala (talk) 00:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Not a unique feature. Eastdale mall in Montgomery, AL has had an ice rink for many years. It doesn't have an article here. Dimitrii 21:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. There seems to be enough to indicate that it is a significant local feature and the size of the recent investment in improvements also helps tip the scales for me, but it is still a very borderline keep. -- DS1953 ^talk 00:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep current version, ample evidence suggests that this is notable enough for an electronic encyclopedia, meets WP:A policy as well. Burntsauce 17:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment User Sasquatch4510 and potential sockpuppets 216.59.253.82 and 216.59.253.214 keep removing the AFD header from the article. I am trying to assume good faith and presume that they are confused as to the difference between AFD and PROD, but wouldn't mind some help keeping an eye on the page for more reversions.--Xnuala (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep but add more sources, per WP:ORG, to establish that it's worth keeping. - Tiswas^(t/c) 17:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
• KEEP The article is very similar to all other shopping centre articles. Why should it be deleted and other sloppier articles stay?

• Comment - comparison to the of quality other articles is not a basis for inclusion or deletion - it only serves to highlight the quality or lack thereof of the other article. - Tiswas^(t/c) 17:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
