Aventura Mall

I was going to place a copyvio notice on this article, compare [1] with the article, however Vegaswikian to his credit has been doing some editing around the edges removing some of the phone numbers. A question over whether this shopping mall is inherently notable. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages. JamesBurns 08:08, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article but remove the current content and replace it with a blurb about the general features of the mall and any notable aspects to it. -CunningLinguist 09:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, looks like a major mall. Kappa 09:08, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It is a major mall.--AAAAA 14:16, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't like the phone number, why dont YOU take them out instead of DESTROYING the whole article?--AAAAA 14:16, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- You're in no position to attack Radiant. Copying and pasting from the h2limousine website reflects badly on you, not Radiant, as an editor. JamesBurns 08:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
KEEP. This is the most important mall in the Miami area and maybe also in Florida.--AAAAA 14:16, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It's a big mall, but it doesn't seem exceptional in any way. If I'm wrong and some form of notability can be established, I'll happily change my vote, but until then, delete. Scimitar 14:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but only if the huge list of shops in this mall (with their location) is removed. We're not a map. Otherwise, delete. Mgm|^(talk) 14:42, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
KEEP - the article should remain, allbeit that it needs re-writing. Agreed that much of the current content is out of place on Wikipedia, but an article with this name should remain. UkPaolo 16:09, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep article - the mall is freakin' huge, always packed, and is really the centerpiece of the whole city - but get rid of advert-like store listings, which would require ridiculous upkeep anyway, as tenants are always moving in or out. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:46, 2005 May 30 (UTC)
Keep as notable mall and cleanup by removing the store listing. We're not the information desk. Capitalistroadster 00:07, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Mike H 00:43, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Malls are not generally notable. The list of tenants is a stupendously bad idea, too. Quale 00:46, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Liberally condense and Merge into Aventura, Florida. AиDя01D TALK EMAIL 02:38, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Large public object. Like the Natick Mall. Klonimus 07:42, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete or merge to Aventura, Florida pending evidence of more notability than bigness (for which "biggest in a nation" is my minimum criterion for inclusion without further significance), in agreement with Scimitar. Ted Kennedy is a large public object, but that's not why he has a WP article. Barno 20:23, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep ONLY if store listings are removed. otherwise delete. carmeld1 01:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete and Merge without store list to Aventura, Florida. If all it takes to be an article is to list all stores in a mall, then we can list every mall. Please note that even the owner of this mall does not have an article! Vegaswikian 02:15, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete a meandering list taken from a directory - not encyclopaedic, notability not established. Megan1967 03:43, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete a mall that isnt all that notable. Leanne 10:40, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
