  • Merge --Chaser 06:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, don't bother merging — it's not even significant enough to merit mention in the article on Glenorchy, Tasmania. --BrownHairedGirl 07:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep or merge to Glenorchy, Tasmania, article looks OK and establishes some notability. JIP | Talk 08:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge as per cjllw. Vizjim 12:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, sub-nn trivia. Honestly, the world does not need to know that the smallest shopping plaza in Glenorchy has acquired a "Big W". Can we please also delete or merge Northgate Shopping Centre, Tasmania and Glenorchy Central, Tasmania? Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. — Haeleth Talk 14:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom and Haeleth. Also agree with Haeleth about deleting the other two shopping centres mentioned. Not enough useful content to merge into Glenorchy, Tasmania. Paddles 14:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, mall asserts notability. --Terence Ong 16:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
    How? By stating it is the lesser of three local shopping centres?--cj | talk 06:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, utterly non-notable. -- stubblyhead | T/c 17:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, as per Terence Ong. I also disagree with deleting or merging the other Glenorchy shopping centres. Sure, they're smaller than some of the Melbourne shopping centres, but hey, they're Tasmanian. Certainly notable for the region. --Canley 05:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete utterly non-notable, and even if something asserts it is notable, doesn't mean it is.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 05:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge. JPD (talk) 09:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Found numerous mentions of this shopping center in Hobart Mercury and other news sources. Seems notable for the area. Since Wikipedia is not paper, I think we can include more locally notable topics, so long as they meet WP:V and WP:NOR. --Aude (talk | contribs) 15:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
    • comment. Although I voted above to delete/redirect & merge, it seems there are more than a few other articles on individual shopping centres in AU. It is not at all clear what threshhold of notability (if any) has been applied in creating/maintaining all these- what makes one shopping centre notable, while another is not? Personally, I don't see why any of these can't just be mentioned in their respective localitys' articles, and none seem to say much beyond that the centre exists, and has a Coles, Woolworths, or whatever. But given the number of already-existing similar articles...--cjllw | TALK 09:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep until criteria for shopping centre notability are established, per cjllw. - ҉ Randwicked ҉ 09:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, notable in the local area, perhaps. Lankiveil 02:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC).
  • Delete Hard to judge from afar, but seems unlikely to be notable. Runcorn 19:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
