The result was delete. The argument that the sources are about an isolated crime rather than being about the subject of the article is convincing and largely unrefuted.--Kubigula (talk) 03:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roxbury Mall

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

Non-notable strip mall in New Jersey. Granted, the sources are reliable third-party sources, but three of the four sources are about a robbery at a Funcoland store there, and Wikipedia is not the news. Beyond that, it's just an ordinary strip mall with nothing notable about it. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep a very large regional mall with reliable and verifiable sources provided. Alansohn (talk) 17:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • But as I said, three of those four sources aren't about the mall, so much as they are about a robbery at a store there. Robberies (sadly) happen all the time, and they don't make this mall any more notable than millions of other strips across the world.

  • The size, scope, nature and characteristics, combined with reliable and verifiable sources do establish notability. I've read your nomination, and I heartily disagree with it (and most of the rest of your deletion crusade). Repeating your statement does nothing to change my opinion of notability.

  • Delete. This mall isn't notable; it's just another strip mall. -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: No sign of notability. The only source not about the robbery is just a listing in a directory of malls. DCEdwards1966 (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom. RMHED (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable power centre which is supported by multiple reliable sources. While some of them are cursory, as a whole they support the verifiability of the subject. RFerreira 07:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Lack of reliable sources about the mall, rather than events happening at it. Cumulus Clouds 18:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
