Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Landmark (Toronto)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was NO CONSENSUS TO DELETE. Not much of a quorum, so maybe it should be relisted, but I think it's avoidable in this case, as the close is No Consensus with no prejudice against a renomination. The question of whether large malls are inherently notable is fraught. Basically, not enough weight in the Delete camp for the article to be destroyed. Herostratus 03:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The Landmark (Toronto) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:N, prod and notability tags put on page were removed without addressing issues. Seinfreak37 21:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Is the objection the future date of opening, the size (unstated) or the general lack of notability>? In any large constrution project there are usually local newspaper articles. DGG 05:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • My main concern is the general lack of notability. -Seinfreak37 13:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment--This is the forum on how to begin an Afd; not by slapping a "prod" without any time for further research...Bacl-presby 19:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • KEEP; this posting was created (I'm not responsible!) to note a new "mega" development in the "vacant" NE Corner of Toronto, that isn't part of the Rouge Park. I'll be noting some further input in the article's discussion.Bacl-presby 19:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • KEEP; If Lake Ruth is notable, The Landmark certainly is. ;) EagleFan 20:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Thanks for the info. I was aware of that, but just being a smart ass. Obviously Lake Ruth's notability was never explained but the article survived AFD because it was yours. As for The Landmark, I do not believe most shopping centers need an article unless there is something historic or notable about them. Largest in country or world may be notable, largest in Toronto, not so much, IMHO. Otherwise, it appears to be just an advertisement. EagleFan 14:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
As a neutral party unaware of prior discussion on the subject, I have just nominated Lake Ruth.
While a speedy tag is not the way to question something of dubious notability, but a prod tag allows 5 days for improvement just like an AfD. A prod followed by an afd allows 10. DGG 00:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
