[edit] West Side Mall

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

Small, non-notable mall in Pennsylvania. Only sources are a local paper, which indicates local semi-notability but nothing else. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The reason that I initially created the article was that the West Side Mall was symbolic of the area's economic downturn, and a specific example of the economic travails of the communities on the west side of the Susquehanna River. However, I recognize that the only things that can be backed up by citations are the raw facts, so I understand why it ended up in AfD. Brad E. Williams (talk) 01:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no reliable secondary sources to stand up notability. TerriersFan (talk) 03:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - notable for being a conversion. The local newspaper is a perfectly good secondary source. 452,000 sq. ft isnt small Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 07:50, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Many, many malls nationwide have been converted to a strip mall, so that alone doesn't make it notable. The local newspaper is a good source, but it only establishes notability within the community. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete generally US malls under 800,000 sqft need to assert notability. This one does not. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
