Washington Mall (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable mall, no sources found. Sources are a dead link and a blog. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as NN mall and Redirect to National Mall as a likely search term. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 04:12, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changing vote to Keep due to reliable sources being found by Eastmain. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 04:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the linked blog sums it up pretty well "It is a pretty cool experience to walk through this 21st century version of a ghost town" NN mall, which from the pictures won't be open for long.--Terrillja (talk) 04:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Will probably be notable for being closed down soon enough, but notability is not temporary, so keep.--Terrillja (talk) 22:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I added some references. A mall that has closed down remains notable because notability does not expire, and this one has plenty of references to establish notability. -- Eastmain (talk) 05:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I guess since eastmain expanded it some there are ample references now. JBsupreme (talk) 10:03, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I hate mall articles, as certainly one can always find a source that says store XYZ is now at mall ABC. But Eastmain pulled another rabbit out of his hat. Nice job. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Wouldn't be too quick on the trigger on this one. Would love seeing more pages for Malls. Any multi-million dollar shopping center is going to have some sourcable write-ups in local papers.138.23.82.131 (talk) 01:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Yup... they sure will... full and half-page spreads on furniture sales and adds for deodorant. However, Eastmain brought the magic. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Is there some way we could disambiguate this, because I'm sure that 99% of people looking for this are really looking for National Mall. TallNapoleon (talk) 08:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
