Delete: The article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBUILD: "Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." Subject does not have coverage that meets significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. WP:BEFORE revealed advertising, annoucements, events, promos which any mall would have and directory style listings.

Here is a source table. None of the sources is about the mall.

Keep 106 store regional shopping mall in Washington State. Passes WP:GEOFEAT. There is much RS available. Lightburst (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons cited by User:Lightburst. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:19, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question @Lightburst:,

re: it is stated above "There is much RS available." but you didn't list any. Please list the RS you found so everyone (including the closer) can evaluate them. ISimply stating something exists is not enough. See WP:DISCUSSAFD.

re: WP:GEOFEAT states, "may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." What significant coverage is there that show its historic, social, economic, or architectural importance?

I look forward to your answers; if you have new sources, I'll gladly add them to the table above so the closer can evaluate everything easily. // Timothy :: talk 02:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, yet another faulty nomination by TimothyBlue. His breakneck pace here and failure to explain how any of the coverage in question is WP:ROUTINE even when other editors are clearly arguing in favor of keeping, and proving without question that the coverage is WP:NOTROUTINE, smacks of clearly disruptive behavior intended to make a point.

The above table clearly addresses why each source mentioned does not show notability. // Timothy :: talk 04:35, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have added even more sourcing that is clearly and specifically about the mall, showing its long-term impact on the community. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:12, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Additional sources make this clear keep. MB 16:55, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
