Unreferenced and fails general notability. PROD was removed more than 2 years and article was instead tagged for notability. There have been no significant changes and the article is still unreferenced more than two years later. Project seems to have long term plans, but for now seems to be little but a shopping/commercial centre with no claim to notability. Meters ( talk) 20:57, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Nominator is correct that the article, as written, does not make or source any particular notability for what is, when you get right down to it, just a mixed use commercial/condo-residential development of no more inherent notability than any generic residential subdivision or any generic shopping mall. This type of thing might be considered notable if you could source it well enough to get it over WP:GNG, but is not entitled to an automatic presumption of notability just because it exists. No prejudice against recreation in the future if someone can write and source it properly, but this version is a definite delete. Bearcat ( talk) 23:12, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • I tried going for a keep because it is a huge development, the funds are there, and it's actually under construction. But I just can't find anything to satisfy WP:GNG other than two newspaper articles from 2011 saying that this neighbourhood is going to be built. All other google hits are mainly real estate agent adverts and such. Delete.
The article Downtown Markham has similar problems even though the neighbourhood is much further in its completion. There is no significant coverage to warrant their article here on WP. - Takeaway ( talk) 00:37, 10 October 2014 (UTC) reply
