[edit] Sources

There's nothing in the sources that currently exist which are independent, third party sources which address this mall's notability. Corvus cornixtalk 22:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait a few moments, then, and I'll find some. Articles don't write themselves instantaneously. – Swid (talk · edits) 22:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I would venture to say the mall has (unfortunate) notability now. Keeper | 76 23:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Omaha.com has an article that can provide an excellent source, however I am too worn on this subject to work on it tonight. [1] Big Merl (talk) 01:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
The New York Times article sources it as the largest mall in Nebraska, which is enough notability that an AFD would fail. The incident yesterday certainly helps its notability. I remember opening day at Westroads ... quite an exciting event for me, as it was the first real shopping mall I had ever seen.Kww (talk) 01:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Electricity

I seem to remember seeing that this mall (at one time) was run off of several diesel generators instead of the power grid. This would certainly be unique. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.179.151.146 (talk) 18:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
