Half empty article that is leaning dangerously close to About Sanlitun Village. See Duplication Detector Report Night of the Big Wind talk 07:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - far too close; I've removed one paragraph that was a blatant copyvio from two sources. A quick look at gnews hits suggests there could be some notability. I didn't notice any obvious significant coverage, but there may be some in non-English sources. It certainly seems to be a well-known shopping centre in Beijing. --BelovedFreak 12:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I lived in Beijing, working as a reporter. The building of Sanlitun Village was widely reported in local media. Moreover, it is a big and efficient shopping centre. So again as a reporter, it is good to be able to find English language info on it. More info on how much it cost an which architects built it would be even more helpful.

- Keep based on Anothersixpence's comments (which I take in good faith). Need to get some sources though - if not in English, then at least in Mandarin. --Legis (talk - contribs) 08:53, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but mark as lake of reliable source, there seems to be plenty of mentions[1] of the building in Chinese news, like this[2] and this[3]. Those news articles do read like advertisement of the property, but this[4] article says the village is an exemplary street mall which may have some architectural design value.
