WP:DELSORT/MALLS

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Malls. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Shopping malls|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Malls. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Splau

Fails WP:GNG / WP:NBUILDING, lacks significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Has been draftified but moved back to main space without addressing issues with referencing despite this issue being identified by multiple editors. Has been deprodded by article creator without addressing issues of referencing. Dan arndt (talk) 21:11, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Shopping malls and Spain. Dan arndt (talk) 21:11, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per nom, nothing to indicate this mall is notable. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 22:15, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- no significant coverage so far in my searches, its content can be considered to be added to Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield as a mention at least.Lorraine Crane (talk) 18:02, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BASIC, can't find any reliable sources for this. Primpzetad (talk) 11:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Phoenix Safeway fire

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

This is a non-notable building fire that doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:EVENTCRITERIA. No injuries or impact beyond the immediate community; no coverage beyond WP:ROUTINE local news reporting. ZimZalaBim ^talk 13:59, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Enough reliable sources from 5 different states as far as Florida that prove this received more than just "local news reporting". Jeannete On Fire Martin (aha?) 14:18, 29 May, 2025 (UTC)

If you are talking about this source it is simply another Gannett outlet printing the same syndicated content from The Arizona Republic. This isn't nationwide coverage, just a media conglomerate distributing its own content across different properties. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:23, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How about the Las Vegas Review Journal, the Washington Times and the Texas Fox station?/ This was a well-known fire. Jeannete Burning in your Mind Martin (aha?) 14:28, 29 May, 2025 (UTC)

Also examples of print syndication and broadcast syndication, either from Associated Press or network affiliates, etc. Trust me, there weren't newsrooms from distant states dedicating resources to cover a random building fire in Arizona. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:32, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SYNDICATED helps explain this. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:35, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and question Thanks for the link. I had no idea about that policy. Would the fact that a firefighter died make the Southwest Supermarkets fire more suitable for an article? That's what I intended to write about originally, but if it does not,, then I don't want to waste my time on that! (besides I write at 2 chat lines and have a blog so Im not here writing every day). Thanks and God bless you! Jeannete La Chica mas Sexy Martin (aha?) 22:58, 29 May, 2025 (UTC)

Delete ZimZalaBim is correct that syndicated online coverage via sister newspapers does not mean there is national interest in a minor local event. No indication of lasting significance. Reywas92^Talk 19:18, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, just a news story, not subject to sustained secondary coverage. I'm not interested in a brief burst of media coverage, whether local, national, or otherwise. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:19, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
