[edit] Newburgh Mall
Tagged for references and notability since August. No reliable third-party sources found; mall is far below super-regional status. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. Nontrivial coverage located here from third-party sources. "Superregional" is a subjective definition, the mall used to be superregional, twenty years ago, now its on its way to deadmalls.com, but notability is not temporary. The local library would likely be the source to flesh out information on the mall's heydey. MrPrada (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Super-regional is not subjective; it's a definition by the International Council of Shopping Centers (anything over 750K square feet if I'm not mistaken). None of those sources in the Google News search seemed substantial; they were just about events in the mall.

- There were enough Times Herald-Record sources for me (The robbery, etc) to demonstrate nontrivial coverage. The TV show Orange County Choppers has also done an episode there. Also, as stated above, the Mall likely attained "Superregional status" back when it was the only mall in the area in the 80s. Notability is not temporary. MrPrada (talk) 18:16, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails my understanding of WP:CORP. Of the sources cited above, very few are primarily about the mall. Those which are about the mall appear to be press releases, not independent news coverage. Rossami (talk) 23:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
