@Dibbydib: it is OK, if most of shopping malls in here List of shopping malls in Estonia are redirects (and not individual articles) to this list.--Estopedist1 (talk) 10:59, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it passes GNG easily. Pick your sources here https://tartu.postimees.ee/search?query=Tartu+kaubamaja from Postimees --Pelmeen10 (talk) 11:47, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are many articles on Wikipedia devoted to shopping malls. I fail to see why Tartu kaubamaja should be deleted. One merely has to Google it for sources. A Google search pulls up 5,650,000 results to pick references from. ExRat (talk) 02:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The building has been an object of extensive public discussion due to its architectural peculiarities, and has often been used to raise or illustrate issues in city planning and modern architecture in general. The actual building, redesign, and expansion processes have also attained some notoriety. Additionally, there have been several sources discussion the business inside the building. Sadly, all that content is not visible in the current article, but then again I would have thought people making the deletion proposals might have been aware of the WP:NEXIST which states: "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". --Ehitaja (talk) 10:23, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
