Notability

I'm sure the Eastwood Mall is notable, but the article deals with that notability very briefly and with references which may not be meaningful to a person outside Alabama, or perhaps outside the United States. If it can't fill a page, then it might not be important enough for an article of its own and an article on Shopping Malls of Birmingham, Alabama would be more substantial.

Well that, and the Eastwood Mall in Niles, Ohio is arguably more notable, given that it is the largest mall in the United States. (See article.) To that end, I'm moving this to Eastwood Mall (Birmingham), and changing this page to a disambiguation page. -- SwissCelt 16:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate

Eastwood Festival Centre is not the former Eastwood Mall. After the mall was demolished the site was redeveloped as "Eastwood Village". (see Bhamwiki:Eastwood Mall and Bhamwiki:Eastwood Village). The Festival Centre was developed in the late 1980s, nearly 30 years before Eastwood Mall was torn down. The former mall was notable for being one of the first enclosed shopping malls in the South and for many years the largest. If the Ohio mall is moved to Eastwood Mall, I would think that at least some disambiguation would be helpful in case anyone is researching the historically notable development in Alabama. (No one would think to look for it under this misnomer) --Dystopos (talk) 19:37, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
