• well it is the largest shopping centre in donegal. is that not notable???????--Candelwicke 20:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• how can it not be notable because of its size. what about all those dublin shopping centres about the largest out of town shopping centre and so on. this is the largest shopping centre in donegal. not in the town of letterkenny the whole of county donegal. i think i've made my point--Candelwicke 20:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Find a reference to it being the largest shopping centre in County Donegal.Afn 08:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • You've made it, but it's wrong. The shed in my back garden is the largest shed in my back garden. Anything can be the "largest X in Y", for suitable Y. Our WP:CORP criteria are thus not based upon such things. They are based upon people having written and published non-trivial works on the subject, which means that even small things are notable if they have been the subjects of enough non-trivial published works. Please cite any published works on the subject of this shopping mall, if they exist. Uncle G 11:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: If you find any other unencyclopedic articles about non-notable shopping malls, you are free to post them under articles for deletion too. I have no idea why you think you need to "fight for Letterkenny", or why this process seems to involve creating pages about shopping venues in the town. I am sure that Letterkenny will survive without your help in this particular area. You should also consider using a single account in order to edit the Letterkenny-based articles, assuming that these are also you: Together&forever, The Big Brain, Qwertyuiopasdfgh vfen. Also, has it ever occurred to you that you could start your own website about Letterkenny? You could write whatever you like without interference from anybody. When you edit on wikipedia, you have to resign yourself to the fact that your material could be altered or scrapped. Pathlessdesert 21:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC) I hadn't realised that you had actually been blocked before for copyvios and obnoxious edits. I have tagged you as a sockpuppet.

What--Candelwicke 19:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Shopping centres are businesses. The relevant standard is therefore WP:CORP. There is no assertion in the article that it meets the WP:CORP standards. Such an assertion would need to be sourced to reliable sources that are independent of the shopping centre. The article contains no sourcing, so is also a violation of WP:NOR, however I presume the latter is readily repairable by citing the shopping centre's advertising. GRBerry 02:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, mall is non-notable. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 14:57, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
