Keep--if you look at the other articles linked in the infobox (e.g. Southdale Center, Knollwood Mall, Calhoun Square), it's clearly possible to write a solid article about Minneapolis malls of this caliber. The fact that this one hasn't been improved to that level yet doesn't mean it won't be. Slap an unreferenced tag on it and call it a day. This isn't a BLP, so there's no harm in letting material germinate. Meelar (talk) 17:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's possible to write good articles about all sorts of things - I'm not sure how this is relevant to this discussion. This is an unsourced article that seemed to survive the first deletion nomination only because no one backed it even though no one supported it. There has been no improvement to the article or to the sources I can find since then. It's a collection of shops without any obvious significance as can be found all over the world - why is this notable? noq (talk) 01:04, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - there is actually an entire article devoted to this property in a sector specific periodicle. Just gotta know where to look. +2 cited mentions added. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 04:13, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Nice! Thanks. Meelar (talk) 21:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Dos' sources. Kind of on the border, but notability is present. As much mall info as I've gleaned from Google News/Books lately, I think we'd be harder pressed to find a mall that isn't notable than one that is.
