Forum Mall (Kolkata)

No claim to notability given. Nehwyn 07:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A google search shows quite a number of hits for this mall. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 09:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that is because you searched separately for the terms "forum", "mall", and "kolkata", thus retrieving entries that do not relate to the Forum Mall, but to separate uses of the words forum and mall. (Practical example: if we were googling for a Mr John Ross Geller, see for yoursef how results would differ if you were to you just type john ross geller in Google rather than "john ross geller".) Therefore, an appropriate Google search for the subject of this AfD can instead be found here, and as you can see shows about 500 results , many of them being just listings of shopping facilities in the region. --Nehwyn 10:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Bhowanipore, the parent neighbourhood? Coverage of this subject in WP:RS is a bit weak (plenty of short discussions, but no articles devoted entirely to it) (see Google News search [1]). However, The Times of India credits it with changing the whole character of the neighbourhood from a residential area to a "high street shopping destination", which makes me think this content is worth mentioning there (though not necessarily the stuff about the mall's paging system, parking spaces, and tenants). cab 11:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a consensus in favour of merging. --Nehwyn 12:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Forum is a very popular mall group in India. They have huge malls across the country from Kolkata to Kochi. Maybe we should create a new page to list all these malls.--Seraphiel 15:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad idea, if done properly. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 18:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to The Forum (shopping mall) then. All the malls are called "The Forum" per http://www.theforumexperience.com/--Seraphiel 09:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, passes WP:RS, notability is asserted. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 18:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, prior AfDs suggests that malls are deserving of articles. This one seems more notable than the typical mall. —Xezbeth 21:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Keep, Keep!!!, what can be more notable than being mentioned for its excellent layout and signage in the article "The best malls in India"? --Victor D ^PARLE 00:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
