Talk:Four Seasons Mall/GA2

GA Reassessment

This article is utterly lacking in any historical information on the mall. What were its original anchor stores or other tenants? What caused the decline? Was the mall ever expanded at any point?

It goes straight to the "decline" literally in the first paragraph, and nearly 99% of the article is just about how it was an abandoned mall torn down for a Walmart. I know a small remote mall isn't going to have a super convoluted and detailed history like Forest Fair Village, but even a start-class article like Brighton Mall managed to get nearly two full paragraphs on what kinds of stores were there pre-demolition. Surely a local newspaper has at least something to fill out the history more.

I will try and see if I can source this page more and get it up to better standards. Not a GA entirely yet IMO. Windyshadow32 (talk) 00:47, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Update: It's looking pretty bad, I don't think this article merits GA status and I can't find any sources that clarify tenants except newspaper access that I don't have access to. If anyone else can tackle this let me know, I'll let my Wikiproject:Shopping Centers people know as well. Windyshadow32 (talk) 01:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Can you point me to the newspapers/articles that you don't have access to? I may be able to access them. I added a little information about past tenants. Unfortunately the major local newspaper, the Star Tribune, has little information about past tenants available. I currently can only look back to 1988 but will hopefully be able to look back to the mall's opening soon. Eóin (talk) 19:38, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

@TenPoundHammer:. This can probably be closed now. AIRcorn (talk) 21:44, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
