  • Keep. I'm going to quote a comment from another AfD, while I don't entirely agree with every detail it contains important truths: "All malls should have articles here because they are the local landmarks of our times, often replacing Main Street or town squares. They have as much influence on towns as highways, schools, or stadiums. They are substantial economic enterprises and raise major issues involving land use, taxation, and globalization. Too many people love to talk, read or write about them for us to play silly games and try to exclude them. This may be hard for people to believe, but in the real world, they are far more important than the latest Virtual community, Pokemon card, or webcomic." Mathmo Talk 21:13, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Article is now a well-strucuted stub and all the copyvio in the article lifted straight from ING's website has now been totally removed. Anyone with the appropriate tools should be able to take this article to an appropriatly improved article with additional references and history. Thewinchester (talk) 14:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Well-structured stub, rewritten since AfD began. Rebecca 03:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Mathmo. Twenty Years 07:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Well written little article with print references. Since the refs are not available online, it is impossible to tell if they make more than a passing ref to this property. It is a very small shopping center at 178,000 square feet, less than half the size to be considered a "regional mall" and many of them get deleted. Does it have special historical or architectural merit? Edison 19:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Small malls may have local importance and could be merged with the city article. However this one does not seems notable per nomination. Vegaswikian 01:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Mathmo. Jameeserano 22:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep definately seems to have the multiple independent references required by WP:N.Garrie 22:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
