[edit] Exploits Valley Mall
Non-notable shopping mall in Canada. A Google search turned up nothing of note. Claims to be the only mall in the region, but is unverified (it's been my experience that every other town in Canada seems to have an enclosed mall).

- Here is a page with information on the shopping center. Newfoundland and Labrador is much more loosely populated than other regions of Canada and the only other shopping malls around the area is one in Gander, at least 100km away. It's owned by Econo-Malls. I don't think the article should be deleted. There's more information here.~NeonFire372~ (talk) 17:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

- None of those pages is a reliable third-party source, however. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

- The Advertiser, Grand Falls-Windsor's local newspaper has definitely mentioned the mall countless times in print form. I don't see how a building such a shopping mall would need to be covered in the news that much anyway considering the extremely low crime rate in Central Newfoundland. The mall is notable however because it provides somewhere to shop for residents at least 100km away, and even almost 200km away as you head out on the coast where there are outport communities with nothing but a grocery store. The mall is mentioned here - that proves it's existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ~NeonFire372~ (talk • contribs) 18:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

- If the Drawing Area (of 100km/200km away) can find a verifyable source stating that fact, then that would make the mall notable as that Draw Area would put it on par with Super Regionals. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 09:29, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as existence is not sufficient for an encyclopedic article. Not even if you're the only mall within 100km. Encyclopedias are tertiary-sources that require independent secondary sources to establish notability. Epthorn (talk) 19:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, the wording by Epthorn (talk · contribs), is exactly how I would put it. Cirt (talk) 20:55, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
