[edit] Oakland Mall

Previous AfD ended in no consensus. Article is unsourced other than a link to the mall's website which establishes it's basic existence. Previous reasons cited to keep this article ran along the lines of it being an important part of local culture or important community landmarks. This reasoning is not supported by any reliable sourcing though. This is a simply an average, run-of-the-mill mall. There are no sources that show this mall has any notability, has any impact, standing, or importance on the local community, or that it meets WP:CORP (if one chooses to judge it as a commercial entity, though I'm aware that many editors don't apply WP:CORP to malls). without sources to demonstrate that this Mall has any local significance, this article should be Deleted.--Isotope23 20:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Not encyclopedic. This is not a directory of shopping malls. Agent 86 20:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Malls are in the business of renting retail space to stores, generally chain stores. There is no evidence from independent sources in the article to demonstrate meeting WP:CORP. I made almost the exact same argument in the last AFD, and the article has had two months since the last AFD to acquire such evidence without it happening. GRBerry 16:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
