Capalaba Park Shopping Centre[edit]

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

Non-notable Australian shopping centre/mall. No reliable sources, independent of the subject and each other, have been provided. The article reads like an advertisement and was created by a SPA, Masteryacine5 (talk · contribs), who has created a series of articles on shopping centres that are claimed to be owned by a person named Yu Feng Mattinbgn\^talk 21:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable shopping centre, cruddy article. Yu Feng isn't a person; it's a company, which appears to have stakes in a string of often prominent shopping centres (see a list on this page, search down for Yu Feng to get to it). Rebecca (talk) 21:58, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. An article on Yu Feng or its owner [1] may be more appropriate than individual mall articles. WWGB (talk) 01:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Delete Never asserts notability, and has some random, pointless information. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 22:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's a regional shopping centre. I added a reference. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:18, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
question is there some reason The Koala Action Group is relevant here? DGG (talk) 23:22, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no idea either. Like I said, not great article. Still a notable place though. Rebecca (talk) 23:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability not established. brianlucas (talk) 00:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete. Fails the most relevant criterion, that is, WP:Notability (organizations and companies). Withdrawn in view of state award (see below). WWGB (talk) 01:29, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The article needs a good rewrite, but I think it (barely) passed notability requirements. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ It's a shopping center for goodness sake... not a national landmark. Are we going to have articles about every mall now? Oops, I see more below. Yikes. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable. Whether it's a poorly written article that reads like a bill of lading or a future FAC doesn't matter. Notability means we don't delete. rootology (C)(T) 05:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep, appears to meet notability requirements through third-party coverage, although only just. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Keep I agree a rewrite is in order. Google turns up enough hits to pass WP:N, if barely. JavierMC 10:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

G-Hits don't show notability... only shows how many people are looking for a new washer/dryer combo or a new pair of shoes. This article most definitely does not meet the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), which states: "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability". I do not care how many blurbs you come across praising its many stores, that does not make it notable. ~~I have yet to see even one reliable source given that directly shows notability... and my own searches I have found only that it exists. THAT is not notable per WP:RS~~. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, what is notable about this mall? And how do the keep voters know it? cos it sure isn't sourced here. Having both a subway AND a McDonalds is not a criterion for notability - this sounds like every mall i've ever seen.Yobmod (talk) 17:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - actually "not to call an ambulance before notifying ..." is a notable aspect of this mall as it goes counter to most rational thinking. Although cleanup is in order. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 19:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:CORP, "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability". Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What has a Malls Policy got to do with "Trivial or incidental"?!?!?! There is nothing trivial about delaying/denying EM Services to a patient. PS It is also actually a Award winner. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 03:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have found a source that expressly shows notability. Thank you. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have withdrawn my delete vote. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
