Selective mergeto Cornwall, Ontario. Coverage is primarily local (e.g. [1]), and the topic doesn't appear to qualify for an article per WP:AUD. NorthAmerica1000 00:13, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Agree as to the topic not meriting a stand-alone. A redirect would be more appropriate than a merge. This material -- at the time of both nomination and the above comment -- was uncited. The target (now) has cited mention of the mall, which is appropriate in size for an article on the city. Uncited material is not appropriate for merge, and it's silly to mid-AfD create the material with the purpose of only re-creating it again at the target. Epeefleche (talk) 01:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Redirect to List_of_shopping_malls_in_Canada. A google search failed to turn up anything which would establish notability. All I can find in newspapers is local coverage of construction problems in the parking garage. I agree with Northamerica1000 about WP:AUD. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

- Keep Satisfies WP:N. This topic has attracted the attention of the world at large as shown with the sources posted above. This evidence is not the opinion of Wikipedia editors arguing "I like it", or the result of promotional efforts by the mall owners. The topic opened in October 1979, and has been attracting attention since 1975. Unscintillating (talk) 03:47, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
