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

Non-notable shopping mall in Texas. Only sourcing comes from primary sources and SEC reports for the parent company. Since AfD in October, only two minor edits were done, and notability still not established despite claims it existed. Collectonian (talk) 17:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Nothing suggests to me that this mall is non-notable, and there are more than ample sources available to meet verifiability. Thousands of other notable articles on Wikipedia receive less edits. We do not delete articles based on how many edits are done between any period of time.

  • The number of edits was noted to indicate that despite the last AfD, no efforts were made to establish notability though people saying "keep" claimed it could be easily established. Collectonian (talk) 23:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • That doesn't make it notable. We have lots of businesses that are "major" to us, but that doesn't automatically mean they are notable, nor is every little mall in the country/world notable. Collectonian (talk) 23:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Six million visitors each year seems pretty notable to me. That it is the largest single business under one roof and the sole major mall for about 100 miles also seems notable. — BQZip01 — talk 23:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • That stat does not come from a reliable source, and considering the entire population of B-CS is around 160k, I'd love to know how it has 6 million unique visitors a year. Looking at that site, is also has a bunch of false info, so definitely not a reliable source. Collectonian (talk) 23:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Malls of this size are generally considered notable enough for inclusion. I have found one reliable source and added it to the article; there are probably more sources out there. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Hmm...if its size automatically makes it notable, I guess the nomination can be withdrawn, for now, though it is only ever talked about in the local news if a store there gets robbed something (or for its 25th anniversary). I've given it a little cleaning and will take a look at the shopping center project's info to see what other information a mall article should have to see if it can be expanded into a proper mall article using real sources.Collectonian (talk) 13:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
