Greenacres Shopping Centre

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

Mall of approx 26,037m2 retail space, not big enough based on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. Not finding a lot of Reliable sources, most searches are promotional. Orphaned since 2009, nothing links here anyway Gbawden (talk) 13:13, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soft delete The information seen in the snippets from WP:BEFORE D1, Google images, and the information removed from this article after the start of the AfD, [1], show that this is a wp:notable regional mall. However, the only source in the article is a primary source which is giving a 404 error. So the article fails WP:V and lacks a champion to keep it up to date. Both of these problems are remediable, and Soft delete allows the article to be restored at WP:REFUND. Unscintillating (talk) 00:00, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, generally speaking there are reasons why most malls and shopping centers are not notable. This mall exemplifies some of them: small, locally important, but seemingly not for the Eastern Cape, and lacking independent coverage other than PRs. The types of sources decried at WP:CORPDEPTH are the type that are used to try an shore-up support for keeping a mall, for example see this promo piece by a related real estate company. This topic fails WP:GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 15:29, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
