Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maplewood Mall

Maplewood Mall

Was an expired prod, however it does have considerable new coverage 792 on "Maplewood+Mall"&btnG=Search&ie=UTF-8&um=1 Google News so may have claim to notability. Salix alba (talk) 21:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Since it does have news coverage now, ~~why did you even bring it here?~~ DGG (talk) 15:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a procedural nom. Instead of deleting the article per the expired prod, the OP brought it here for discussion. Squidfryerchef (talk) 02:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. --Salix alba (talk) 06:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:DEADLINE. This seems to be a large mall that's been in operation for nearly 35 years. We can presume that many news articles would have been written about it over that time, and a quick look at Google News Archive suggests there's more than enough to establish notability. While these secondary sources should be cited to write the article, there is no deadline for the article to be complete. Squidfryerchef (talk) 02:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very week delete not enough community interest to be able to maintain the article. Whilst it does have a good claim to notability, the fact that the prod was unchallenged for five days indicates no one in the community cares much about the article. Such articles are dangerous as vandalism or in-accuracies could creep in. --Salix alba (talk) 06:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that's not a good criterion. Prod is not a highly watched Wikipedia process, and many inexperienced or occasional eds. don't watchlist. 5 days is a short cycle for many people as well, who might edit only on weekends. The reason you give would negate the present policy of undeleting prods on request. I do often check prod, and I apologize for missing this one. DGG (talk) 17:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I look at WP:PRODSUM every few days and didn't notice it. I also agree that five days is a ridiculously short time to establish consensus on anything, and it excludes whole communities of people who otherwise have plenty to contribute. Squidfryerchef (talk) 18:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
