No, they are not repealing the blue laws, even partially (I think). If you want to put that in, give a source. Abeg92contribs 18:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Article title (or, to Westfield or not to Westfield, that is the question)
This was originally posted at User Talk:Elevatorboy617, in response to the latest move of the article, but I decided it may be more appropriate and get more input placed here:
- Well, we've done this dance a few times, so I needed to bring it here. Firstly, per the naming conventions on article titles, common names are preferred for article titles. In the case of the Plaza, the "Westfield" part of the name is very rarely used. I believe this means that the article title shouldn't include "Westfield".
- Secondly, and more importantly, it is utterly incorrect to include the Westfield name in any sentence covering material that dates from before the Westfield purchase of the mall in 1997. It wasn't then part of the name and shouldn't be part of the name.
- I hope to hear your thoughts on this. oknazevad (talk) 01:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Westfield Content Change Request
Hello. My name is Erik Even, and I am a Web Producer for Westfield Corporation. We're concerned that many of the Misplaced Pages pages for Westfield centers have incorrect or outdated information, and even content that is not NPOV.
I have read the rules for Conflict of Interest, and I will not be attempting to make any page edits. I will simply be going into talk pages, and suggesting edits, which the community may then either act on or not. I genuinely appreciate any help you can give.
Our suggested text is below, which is meant to be the first paragraph.
Again, thank you for your help.
Suggested text:
Westfield Garden State Plaza is a two-story, 2.1 million-square-foot upscale shopping mall located in Paramus, New Jersey, and owned and managed by the Westfield Corporation. It is located at the intersection of Route 4 and Route 17 near the Garden State Parkway, about 15 miles west of Manhattan. Housing over 300 stores, it is the largest mall in New Jersey, the third-largest mall in the New York metropolitan area, and one of the highest-revenue producing malls in the United States. Its anchors include J.C. Penney, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom. It was the first large-scale shopping mall in New Jersey.
Westfield Garden State Plaza was described by the New York Times as perhaps the single most influential retail destination in the U.S.(*)

Should mall articles list their anchor stores or is this a violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. --RAN (talk) 01:19, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
List them
- Malls are defined by their anchors, so yes, it would be odd to have an article on a mall without listing the anchors. If we named every store in the mall, it would be a directory. There is nothing in WP:NOTDIRECTORY that demands we remove the list of the four anchors or two anchors in smaller malls. Anchor store is so important, it has its own article in Misplaced Pages. They are so important they should be in the infobox. --RAN (talk) 01:19, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
- I've added them to the infobox (aand was unaware of this discussion when doing so) ... but no they don't fail NOTDIRECTORY not in the slightest as they're only listing the main anchors ..... not every store in the centre is being listed so no it doesn't fail NOTDIR however my main reason for moving them was because I didn't see the need for them to have their own section when common place for them is the infobox, That all being said I wouldn't object to a section providing that there's actual history to them (ie when they opened etc etc). –Davey2010 02:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages guideline WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE couldn't be much clearer in stating that "the purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article (an article should remain complete with its summary infobox ignored)." The infobox is intened to summarize content in the article and there is no reason to delete material merely because its's in the infobox; heck, we could delete most of the lead given the duplication of content of the infobox. It's interesting to toss out WP:NOTDIRECTORY as an excuse to delete sourced content, but none of the seven cases apply here. (Note: A hearty welcome to my stalker). Alansohn (talk) 01:12, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Do not list
- Even if only a partial list, it's still a plain list without context or prose discussion. It's also redundant to the mention in prose earlier in the article, which fulfills WP:NOTDIRECTORY's call for prose far better. oknazevad (talk) 02:37, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
- Do not list separately This is actually a good discussion to have. I've noticed an ongoing edit war about this at a different page that happens to be on my watchlist, but have chosen to stay out of it. I don't think it's so much a WP:NOTDIR issue as it is redundant information. If all the stores in the mall were listed, then yes it would be NOTDIR, but listing the anchors is certainly reasonable. However, the anchors are listed in the lead and the anchors are listed in the infobox (as they should be), so what is the point of listing them third time? It's a waste of space.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:33, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
