[edit] The Esplanade Mall

This article was proposed for deletion and the tag was removed, all it really is, is just a lengthy list of stores that exist at a mall. Also, this seems like an advert, Delete Yanksox 03:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The author is trying to create articles for all the malls in the New Orleans area, but isn't much of a writer. I have already edited Clearview Mall and will work on the others. There are many articles on WP on shopping malls worldwide. NawlinWiki 03:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I agree with Rehcsif that more info is needed besides a list of stores. Give me a day or so to search news articles and see what I can find. (What am I getting myself into??) NawlinWiki 04:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Even the cleaned-up version (of Clearview Mall) is simply a list of stores. If the article were to contain additional information, such as history of the mall, significant stores that have come and gone, significant events held at the mall, etc. I'd say keep. But if I want a list of stores, I can google the mall's own website. See Southdale Center or Mall of America for a good Mall article of a significant mall (interestingly, neither of these contain a list of stores). --Rehcsif 03:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I just find it deeply troubling that pages about local malls are being created, that has a severe lack of notability, and could also run into advertising. Just because there are other pages that exist like it, is not excuse for keeping one up. If we did that, AfD would be almost useless. Yanksox 03:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete: No-one cares! Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages. Delete this article and all who sail in her. --die Baumfabrik 04:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: no indication of any particular notability. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 05:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. GentlemanGhost 06:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I appreciate the idea and effort, but articles on the malls of towns falls under Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Teke 06:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• While other malls have articles in Wikipedia, a couple survived AfDs in part because each of those articles made at least a half-hearted attempt to show notability. This one does not - until/unless such an attempt appears before close of debate, delete. B.Wind 07:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless there is some notability to the place. - Motor (talk) 09:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete malls are not inheirantly notable Ydam 13:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails to assert notability, sounds more of listcruft. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 13:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per User:NawlinWiki. People do care. --JJay 16:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, malls are generally not notable. -- Kjkolb 02:26, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: regionally significant mall with major anchor stores. This is not a strip mall. Calwatch 06:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
