WP:MILL shopping center. PROD removed with suggestion to merge with Tema, but there is really no significant content. One primary source shows it exists, other source is just a blog. MB 19:37, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article was nominated on the grounds that it is not notable, I fear that maybe wrong as this mall serves the people of Tema and its environs (Dawhenya, Mataheko, Afienya, etc.). Tema alone has approximately 170,000 indigens, considering the number of people who live in the environs of Tema the numbers will be raking between 400,000 to 500,000, before even considering people from the larger Greater Accra region that know and use it. Unfortunately in a country like Ghana if you use publications to determine notability you may be wrong as you don't live and know much about the country. Africans have the issue/culture of not publishing or documenting stuff, however i don't think that should be detrimental to knowledge about our countries and continent, we should be allowed to document with hopes that more publications are made on the subject. I have seen articles with tags indicating just one source, deleting articles on these basis i don't think helps but just deepens the level of inadequate documentation that exist about our countries and continent. --Flixtey (talk) 17:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I agree with a number of Flixtey's comments. I also suspect that this establishment is large enough to have received press coverage when it opened in 2008 that we can't find online. I'm doing some looking as well, but Africa is the toughest area for us.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Its a mall. There is one independent reference to a non-event. Otherwise, the references are not independent.--Rpclod (talk) 02:36, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge - A shopping center of this size is not considered notable in developed countries without other factors. Just a brief coverage of it being opened is not enough. Acnetj (talk) 09:54, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
