Ashley Plaza Mall[edit]

I don't think this meets A7, but written like an ad, and doesn't seem truly notable. Jona than ^{I wish you healthy and happy holidays.} 22:01, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but needs to be sourced and edited somewhat for style. Malls, as long-lasting structures with lasting influence on their surrounding areas, can often be usefully given Wikipedia articles, and there is generally sufficient sourcing within the local and specialist press to document them adequately. Since there appear to be sufficient mall enthusiasts to maintain these articles, that makes them worth keeping, in my opinion. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 00:02, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks .... wasnt sure about the How in that case. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 02:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think in this perticular case there is no 1 thing we can point to and say "That is notable". However looking at the overall history of the building, it does seem to be unusual in the fact that it went from 'strip mall' to 'enclosed mall' then back to 'strip mall'. A reversal of fortunes would be notable. References would be highly recommended. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 02:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I've seen many other malls go from strip mall to enclosed mall, and then back to a strip again (Southland in Portage, Michigan, for one), so that's not necessarily an unusual conversion. However, this mall does seem to meet WP:V, although a good copy edit and removal of external links is in definite order. Once I'm more coherent I'll see what I can do.

Weak Keep While not the worst shopping centre article i've seen, its not the best either. If the article was cleaned up to meet WP:MOS and the background and history could be better sources, then its a keeper. Thewinchester ^(talk) 13:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article makes claims of notability regarding its presence in the Charleston area, and provides thorough details regarding the mall's history. Alansohn (talk) 18:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
