[edit] Jefferson Mall

Jefferson Mall (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Contested PROD. Yanksox 20:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I don't really get this... that a PROD is contested doesn't mean it has to go to AfD, and no other rational was given. This mall gets 171 results in the last 6 years in a search of articles in the Courier-Journal, Louisville's newspaper of record. Some are full articles just about the mall. This is independent non-trivial coverage... this meets WP:N. The mall is one of the 3 largest in a major city, it was the largest when it opened... but mostly there's plenty of reliable information and it's referenced. --W.marsh 21:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - seems to have enough reliable coverage to make it pass the notability guidelines and it has some references. Jayden54 22:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. The nominator should state an argument for deletion. The prod cited notability. --Dhartung | Talk 23:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
    • No, I don't. A contested PROD, is a contested PROD, and I am bringing it here for consenus, thank you. Yanksox 00:28, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
      • He didn't say you had to, he said you should. --W.marsh 02:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep No deletion rationale presented. While references were not in place when the prod was placed, two were by the time of the AfD, along with some other expansion. Further expansion has occurred since. Shimeru 03:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. Just H 03:56, 25 December 2006 (UTC) (also, what is a "PROD"?)
  • Keep With the large merchants mentioned and size, it seems to meet the standards of many malls included in Wikipedia. There is no specific notability standard yet for malls although there is much discussion on the talk pages for notability. At notability precedents the following is mentioned: "While the notability of large malls is in dispute, strip malls and individual shops are not generally notable." So what is small? I would say that a mall with Dillard's, J.C. Penney, Macy's, and Sears, and 120 stores could not be considered small. Since the leadership of Wikipediea is undecided on largeer malls, how can we arbitraily delete this article? --Kevin Murray 07:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Notability is established in article and sources meet WP:RS, WP:V and WP:CORP. Alansohn 19:12, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I live in Jefferson County (Louisville) where it's located and was a resident when the mall was built. I am very certain that the mall was the largest in all of Kentucky upon its grand opening. I will need to source this of course, but this to me is the central reason I find this subject to be notable. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 03:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
