Talk:Mall cop

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was redirect to Security guard. Since this is unreferenced, there's probably not much to merge, though the page history is there if anyone wants to merge content there. Now, if anyone wants to make a properly sourced article on the subject, he or she may feel free to do so, whether at Mall cop, Mall security guard, or another appropriate title. --BDD (talk) 23:11, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Mall cop → Mall security guard – Mall security More encyclopedic title. 4.238.7.241 (talk) 20:28, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose this is not about mall security, there's nothing about security cameras, security gates, metal detectors, bomb sniffers, etc. These are shopping centre security guards. If you're worried about "encyclopedic"-ness, why are you using "mall"? -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 04:16, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose i'm admit-ably relying on anecdotal evidence, but mall cop seems to be the most common and proper term. Capscap (talk) 05:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to security guard, which is what they are. No need whatsoever for a separate article, especially not with a colloquial title like this. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
• Merge as suggested above by Necrothesp. I agree with 65.94.79.6 that this is not about all kinds of security – perhaps "Mall security guard", but not "Mall security". —BarrelProof (talk) 22:37, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Nominator. Move to mall security guard. I've changed my original move target. Yes mall security would not be appropriate for an article that is only about mall security guards. However mall security guard is more of an encyclopedic title than mall cop. 4.238.4.141 (talk) 01:26, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

• Support mall security guard, per Google Books. .....later on security in retail centres would make a more interesting and encyclopedic article, if anyone can create one from this rather limited stub. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:18, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
• Support move to mall security guard. Voortle (talk) 03:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
• Redirect stub article with a WP:DICDEF of a non-notable neologism – just a security guard in a mall as opposed to elsewhere; also unsourced original research. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 07:06, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
• Redirect somewhere, possibly security guard. There's nothing worth keeping. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
