The first mention puts the shopping mall as existing during the 1980s, which suggests sources probably exist offline from that period that are not easily accessible online. The history is something brought up in a several other sources that mention the centre. There is a major problem of sources that can be used to prove WP:GNG being only available offline, and thus we're left to find sources that suggest if we went to those offline sources they would exist. The above adequately do that in my opinion. --LauraHale (talk) 19:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per LauraHale's results on sources, many more are highly likely to be offline and not viewable via any search site. Bidgee (talk) 22:19, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In-depth sources are pretty difficult to find for this shopping centre. However when after I created the page for Mid Valley Shopping Centre (15 kms away) I visited Morwell library and read up a lot about the opening in back issues of The Express newspaper. I intend to go there again sometime to do more research, and I'll make a note to look up more about Traralgon Shopping Centre/Plaza (actually I read the local name a lot as Traralgon Plaza, and therefore don't support a rename to Traralgon Shopping Centre).

Comment. I live near-ish to Traralgon and this is a pretty run-of-the-mill shopping centre, but if it meets the GNG then I see no harm in keeping it. On the issue of the title, "Traralgon Centre Plaza" is definitely the common name (though most locals just call it "the Plaza") – if the Latrobe Valley Express was online this would be very easy to prove.
