  • Keep. Cursory google search lands enough third party coverage to satisfy WP:N. I agree with the advert cleanup tag; the article needs a rewrite. - superβεεcat  17:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is the biggest mall in Georgia. TheCoffee 17:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep it fits well in Category:Shopping malls in Georgia (U.S. state) and is not written any more poorly than some others in the Category. Malls are notable for their economic impact, and looking through Google hits .... this ones pretty big. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 19:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I'll try to clean this up; if it really is the biggest mall in Georgia, that alone would make it notable. Even if not, it seems to be a large enough center that finding reliable sources should be no problem. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC) I've added some references to this article; two of them are behind paywalls, but at least one clearly cites the mall's notability as largest in the state. That alone would make it notable in my opinion. This page still needs a lot of work, but I'm not really in a working mood today. I'll still try to improve this article over time, however.

  • Keep this is the largest mall in Georgia and, if memory serves, when it was completed it was the largest shopping mall in the southeastern U.S. (However, I think some larger malls have opened since then.) Lack of sources or poor article quality is NOT a reason to delete. It is a reason to tag for improvement. LaMenta3 21:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Georgia is a mall-passionate state. There are many very large malls there (a couple of gigantic ones in Buckhead alone). The largest one in the state should not have even been nominated for AfD. --Oakshade 23:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • It's indicative to a serious problem I have when noms don't even do the slightest amount of research before nominating an article for AfD. AfD should be a last resort when dealing with a possibly non-notable topic. WP:SOFIXIT should be a requirement, not an option. But that's a debate for a different page... --Oakshade 01:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep this is just another attempt at a wiki administrator wanting to delete or tag articles instead of improving them --Mjrmtg 11:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Superregional mall of over 1.7 million square feet of retail space, and the largest in its state. Edison 14:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
