[edit] Glenrose Shopping Centre

Small mall in Australia. Belongs in WikiTravel but not here. Radiant! 14:08, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

• Good local content article needing minor NPOVing. Keep. --Gene_poole 22:07, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to WikiTravel. There are millions of shopping centers in the world, not all of them deserve an article in Wikipedia. And even this article admits that the shopping center is small. DaveTheRed 00:05, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • If we can not transwiki, then delete. DaveTheRed 02:44, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - looks like a strip mall to me. Cannot transwiki to Wikitravel, they are not us and are under a different license. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:20, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • That's true, but wouldn't it be quite possible to start a WT article with roughly the same information in it? Radiant! 12:00, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, local landmark. Kappa 00:41, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• As strip mall does not need an article, merge, with the Glenrose suburb article, see Yarralumla, Australian Capital Territory for a good example--nixie 01:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• keep or merge --SPUI (talk) 02:55, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all local landmarks. —RaD Man (talk) 03:58, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment What do you consider a local landmark? Is my local Stop N Go a landmark? How about my small neighborhood park? A particularily busy bus stop? Because I consider all of those to be just about as encyclopedic as a local strip mall. DaveTheRed 05:59, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Radman's vote above is frightening. RickK 06:01, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • They've been known to frighten small children. —RaD Man (talk) 02:53, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. We don't have an article on Belrose, the suburb of Sydney that this mall is located in so we can't merge. Perhaps we should add Belrose, New South Wales to the list of requested articles and add something about this mall to that article. Capitalistroadster 10:34, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Strong concur with RickK. We obviously have to draw the line somewhere, as some individual houses can also be local landmarks. If the only interesting thing we can say about <city><building> is that it's a <building> in <city>, then it should be merged because it can never be more than a stub.

• We don't have to "draw any lines" anywhere. That's the beauty of Wikipedia. Oh, and seeing as none of criteria for deletion are met by this article, keep.--Centauri 10:28, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. If we have no need of drawing lines anywhere, then we have no need for vdf. No lines anywhere means we can keep everything. DaveTheRed 20:46, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• US POV-centric nomination. Keep. Needs verifiability added - David Gerard 00:36, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Australia POV-centric vote. Ignore. Needs to not assume unstated motives for nominations -- Cyrius|✎ 03:57, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Does not seem to be anything noteworthy. --Henrygb 01:27, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. A strip mall would have to REALLY stand out in some way to be noteworthy. This doesn't. Jonathunder 05:09, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
• merge. - unfortunately the 'host' article doesnt exist yet. Bluemoose 18:40, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
