Sorry, but "Jam packed with Chinese people" has a negative connatation, not appropriate for Wikipedia.
Is this still the biggest Asian mall in N.America? I'm fairly certain that some mall in suburban California or Washington has claimed that title in recent yrs. -- Madchester July 5, 2005 06:56 (UTC)
According to the mall's official site, it seems that it is. More specifically, the site claims that Pacific Mall is the "largest Chinese indoor mall in North America". This is what I put in the article.
Personally, I have lived in Toronto most of my life and haven't extensively visited either suburban California or Washington. Do you know of the names of those malls specifically?
"Largest Chinese indoor mall in North America" may be a marketing ploy. The web site of Las Vegas's Chinatown Plaza claims to be the "first master-planned Chinatown in America" when built in 1995 but Los Angeles's Chinatown was master-planned much earlier throughout the 1930s.
I take issue with the outrageous claim that the article makes that "overwhelming majority of (especially electronic) merchandise for sale in this location is illegitimate and that the place is raided six or seven times a year". Can someone please cite a source? I shop there all the time, and I would say that there are three categories of illegal merchandise: DVD's, video games, and brand name purses (Louis Vuitton and the like). This does not constitute the "overwhelming majority" and to target electronics is particularly unfair. -- scottjduffy April 14, 2006 1:12pm EST
The electronics are legit - tho possibly grey market. As such, there is no North American warranty. DVDs most are definately priated (you can tell by price). As for clothing goods, not sure how much is "fake".
Apart from the lead section, this article mentions only the problems, concerns, and the shooting incident. It says almost nothing about what features are in the mall, for example the different kiosks, or the fact that the corridors on the main floor are designed similarly to the streets in Hong Kong. On the second floor, there is a clinic, a dentistry office, several stores and booths, as well as an entire new Asian themed section featuring restauraunts and products for sale. The article mentions the different types of kiosks, but this needs to go into greater detail apart from the lead section, and the first section should be about the Mall's history, not the problems and concerns. This article needs to include information other than the negativity, and more citations are also needed. ~ A H 1( T C U) 02:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
This article has been tagged as containing uncited text since 2009. Some of the uncited text has been with regard to a living person, charged with a crime. All such text that is uncited is subject to such tag -- it is subject to being deleted, as failing to have an RS ref, and if one wishes to re-add it they may do so with an inline RS ref per wp:BURDEN.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 02:16, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Future expansion is on hold. The article says "that plan was delayed until late 2009". As of 2021 october, it is still delayed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.43.232.113 ( talk) 00:08, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
