Macleod Mall (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Disputed speedy deletion nomination; better to debate things here rather than in edit summaries. Neutral nomination. Chick Bowen 22:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete (A7 or A1) anyway, very non-notable mall, very short article. Google search turns up only Yellow Pages listings. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Reply - incorrect. Notability is on a par with Centennial Mall and Centre 2000. See references in text citing notability.68.146.179.223 04:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Non notable. - Rjd0060 23:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No indications that is was that a major shopping mall in Calgary.--JForget 23:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Reply - incorrect. See cited material in article.68.146.179.223 04:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Per above. Tiptoety 23:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Not only is the mall not major, but the category it's in says it all: "Defunct Shopping Malls in Calgary". PS, that category is up for deletion too. --Ioeth 02:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: There shouldn't be any Yellow Page listings showing up for this because it was demolished a decade ago to make way for a Revy hardware superstore. I think articles on major shopping centres (even those of only regional interest) are fine, but this one is a bit too NN for an article. 23skidoo 14:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Reply Incorrect. The mall is still standing and still referred to as Macleod Mall. See referenced items in article.68.146.179.223 04:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - I don't see how it is any less notable than Centennial Mall. If there is a standard being applied, it is not being applied evenly. 68.146.179.223 04:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment also please explain the notability of Centre 2000 to me. I really don't see what standard is being applied.68.146.179.223 04:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Further Comment the additional edits I've made should satisfy notability and verifiability (WP:VER). I'd recommend the deletionists take a hard second look at the article.68.146.179.223 04:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Strike out commentary - category has been changed in accordance with deletion discussion at the CfD page.68.146.179.223 04:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Just because there are articles an other not notable subjects does not mean we should keep one. Maybe we need to delete them too. Thanks for the info about the other malls. I'll have a look. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 10:44, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertion of notability in the article. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 10:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment The references do not assert notability. Mostly just ads and one general article about malls. Thanks again for the heads up on the other two. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 10:53, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Out of curiosity - if you're so concerned about Wikipedia's disk space - why do you have [1] stored on their server when no actual article points to it? Aside from being a crappy picture of ... a strip mall ... I don't see what purpose it serves. Doesn't it violate the spirit of the rule that says WP user pages are not intended to be user pages? Wouldn't you be serving WP more by uploading that picure to your Facebook or Myspace page? Seems hypocritical to delete an article on a historically significant structure citing concern over WP's disk space, and then uploading sub-par photography to illustrate nothing but your personal ego-driven page.68.144.31.71 02:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Disk space has nothing to do with it. I'm not sure where your grounds for that accusation are. GlassCobra 03:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Where is the notability? Seems like a simple small strip mall. Vegaswikian 19:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no sourced notability TerriersFan 03:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
