- Keep The complex covers over 800,000 square feet of gross leasable area, putting it into the super-regional category for the properties. Consensus has been that such super-regional malls are notable. Alansohn 04:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak deletepending references. Whatever mall fans' group consensus may have been in past discussions, "super-regional malls" are not exempt from WP:V. What reliable sources have covered Turkey Creek to document that it has had more effect on its community than any one of several hundred Wal-Marts? Barno 16:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- this needs expanding to explain that the two sections that are described in detail make up less than half of Turkey Creek, making it go well into the super-regional category. There was also a lot of news coverage of the controversies when it was under development, such as concern about the adjacent wetlands, which were set aside by the company as a protected area (here's one article about that). To address Barno's point, it's had a huge effect on the community (much more than just a Wal-Mart, since it includes a Wal-Mart, a Target, about 120 other stores, 30+ restaurants, three hotels, a hospital, and the flagship theater for the country's largest movie theater chain)... I'd need some more time to search to find sources that specifically talk about this, but it's changed shopping patterns very drastically. Pinball22 17:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep go figure but 800,000 square feet seems awfully large for a "strip mall" I'm pretty sure that's a lie. Coccyx Bloccyx 00:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Here's a story specifically about its impact on the region. It also clarifies the size -- over 300 acres of development. Pinball22 04:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
