The article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBUILD: "Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." WP:BEFORE showed WP:ROUTINE coverage, but not significant coverage that addressed the subject directly and in-depth or that established it meets NBUILD.   // Timothy :: talk  12:23, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

• Keep, first mall in a major MSA. WP:ROUTINE does not apply to places. A search for sourcing was not particularly fruitful, but a notability criterion has been established. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 06:18, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

• Keep a 53 acre footprint shopping mall that is listed in the Directory of Major Malls. Notability is not temporary, and the mall remains notable even though it has been demolished.
