Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lagrange Mall

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 keep - there is, at worst, no consensus to delete. The article is properly referenced and notability has been argued for. Other malls of comparable relevance have articles too. Non-admin closure per my discretion. Chutznik (talk) 01:07, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lagrange Mall

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No reliable secondary sources found, seems to fail general notability guidelines. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 23:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: Fail to establish notability outside the local area. Turgan ^Talk 23:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The anchors of this mall are Belk, JCPenney, and Sock Shoppe." LOL. Bearian (talk) 02:51, 22 January 2010 (UTC) I'll clarify - delete. Bearian (talk) 20:02, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Hull Storey Gibson Companies, the owners of this mall and some others. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't work. Hull Storey Gibson doesn't seem to meet WP:CORP itself. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:36, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Here's my rationale on this one--While a small mall (233,000 sq. feet), it is clearly the only mall in its rural region (per the cites I just added), thus it is regionally notable, unlike a mall its size would be in a larger metropolitan area. Its the only notable retail establishment in the six county region it serves, without a doubt. And I know Bearian is dying to check out that Sock Shoppe (apparently a long-time downtown retailer that was recently lured to the mall.) However, if it is wikipedia's consensus to crush the knowledge of this region's only retail establishment where patrons are probably required to wear shirts and shoes, I would request that the content be userified to me for creation of a larger article on Hull Storey Gibson Companies (owner of six malls currently it seems, down from 17 a few years ago), for which I do see a lot more sources.--Milowent (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing the mall's old name helped. There does seem to be a tiny bit more coverage under the old name. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 16:04, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Milowent. JBsupreme (talk) 20:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
