[edit] Royal Square Strip Mall (Saskatoon)

Royal Square Strip Mall (Saskatoon) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable strip mall, page evidently created by same user who created Plaza 22 Strip Mall (Saskatoon) which is also up for deletion. This strip, like Plaza 22, makes no claim to notability -- it seems like just another strip mall that doesn't need to be listed. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Actions • Words))) 18:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, not encyclopedia-worthy. Punkmorten 20:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
    • ADVICE NEEDED - Article requested as a answer to a request Please advise what route should be taken. This has been on several Talk pages already. This was an answer which was derived at. Another main article (city) was getting very lengthy, so the shopping malls were put into a list and a category created. The malls were also attempted in a (neighborhood) articles which also was felt by Wiki editors to be getting lenghty. Malls with photos and primary source information had articles written, some were started as stubs. This was a request put out to start articles especially if it had a photo It does conform to Wikipedi's s as it has encompassed these three. (Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research) What seems to be the issue here is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Shopping malls of various types are found in large and small communities, and are part of what defines a community. Studying mall locations and amenities shows a suburb's or subdivision's inclinations, and desires for their particular convenient desire for example if the small strip mall contains a dry cleaning service or laundromat service for instance. The shopping mall started out in the city article, then moved to the neighborhood article and then an article of its own. This is an example of a Strip mall. It is not one of many Power centres, Shopping mall#Regional Malls or Shopping mall#Super-regional Malls so it may not be notable because it is not big, and it does not serve a big neighborhood. However it is important to the residents of that community and it is an example of that species. There are many examples of the species defined at power centres, and none of the species defined at Strip mall. SriMesh | talk 22:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete same as above. But it might be strategic to not nominate similar articles till there's been a decision of these--then others can probably be dealt with more simply by PROD. DGG 05:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
There is more discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westgreen Shopping Plaza (Saskatoon) and changes have been made to the list and neighborhood articles so there are not stubs about smaller strip malls hanging around and about, but rather paragraphs like a discussion would be better, and WP:MALLS has some good notes to follow also, but not about notability as of yet.SriMesh | talk 04:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
