Non-notable strip mall in Arizona, sources establish only local notability if any at all. Precedent has shown that strip malls are generally non notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Mall is a 1.1 million square foot GLA super-regional mall, supported by reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability, a size that far exceeds anyone's definition of a "strip mall". Precedent has shown that malls of this size and regional scope are notable. Alansohn (talk) 06:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - the "reference" is a directory entry, one of the "sources" is a broken link, the other two predate construction. They are reliable, and most of the article's information is verifiable, but I don't see any notion of more than local notability. As an aside, I don't think that the definition of strip mall depends on size. Huon (talk) 16:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - superregionals are notable, although article expansion is encouraged Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 04:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Superregional malls by definition have an influence far beyond their immidiate locality, and have generally been kept in previous AFDs. Such malls have generally been found to have numerous stories in regional and national press with substantial coverage, because of the effect they have on shopping patterns and commerce over an extended area.

  • Keep as a notable, if giant, evil maul. Bearian (talk) 02:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
