[edit] Burlington Mall

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

Does not appear to assert notability. Navou banter / contribs 01:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep It most certainly asserts it, by giving the size and the list of merchants. The question is whether it is in fact notable. As probably the most important one in the northeast US , it might be. DGG 02:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • delete. I don't get any notibility out of the article. List of merchants is not notability. (aside) WTF there is a Burlington Mall (disambiguation) page?--ZayZayEM 02:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no claims of notability in the article. Size and list of merchants don't cut it - if a mall doesn't have size and doesn't have tenant merchants, it doesn't have an existance either. Resurgent insurgent 09:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This mall has 1,336,000 square feet of gross leasable area per [1]. Any mall with 800,000 square feet or more of GLA is a "super-regional mall" per the ICSC at [2] and at [3]. In the U.S there are only 611 mall larger than 800,000 square feet out of the 37,000 plus shopping centers in the U.S. There is more discussion of this at the talk page of WP:MALL (which is tagged as historical and as rejected). Being a superregional mall has been sufficient to demonstrate notability in past AFDs. It is also likely that such a mall has multiple independent sources with nontrivial coverage, which would allow the stub to be expanded. Edison 14:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: Yeah, it's a big mall in this area. So? There are malls everywhere; that doesn't make them prima facie notable, especially when they contain nothing more than a list of links that plug into corporate websites far from Burlington. If in fact there are sources that fulfill the requirements of WP:ATT, this article's been around for a year now, and I don't see them yet.  RGTraynor  17:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep-It does seem a little notable, per Edison, but the hours make it seem like an advertisement. That should go. --TeckWiz ParlateContribs@(Lets go Yankees!) 17:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, it may lack notability where someone else lives, but for people living near the area, the article can be quite useful. It contains a hint of subjective angle, so get rid of that. --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 22:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Err ... I do live in the area, and it's just another shopping mall in a land of plenty of them. It's neither the area's first (that's the South Shore Plaza in Braintree) nor the largest.  RGTraynor  01:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep seems notable [4] --W.marsh 18:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Size and scope of the mall demonstrate notability in its market. Article would greatly benefit from expansion and additional sourcing. Alansohn 03:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Easily meets notability - nothing more to say really (except for why do the champions of these articles disappear before they are written up properly?).--VS talk 12:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Mall is definitely notable in my opinion -- definitely seems big enough and relevant enough. I'm removing the list of stores (except for the anchors) to make it seem less like a directory. TenPoundHammer 15:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the above, highly notable as a supermall. Stop wasting time. RFerreira 01:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
