Advertising

At present, this article reads much more like advertising than an encyclopedia article. There also need to be some reliable secondary sources presented to show how this place is notable. Kevin (talk) 07:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the wording, taking out words such as "hip", "cool", etc... Also added business info from outside sources to make the article more well rounded. I also added sources verifying notability, such as one from ESPN. Many famous sports stars own restaurants in the entertainment district which has become a focal point for entertainment in St. Louis.--Bhockey10 (talk) 08:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dierdorf & Hart's is reported to be closed —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyeahmfr (talk • contribs) 17:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dierdorf & Hart's Downtown closed. The Westport Plaza location is still open.

Trainwreck Saloon @ Westport is not a Tex-Mex Restaurant. It's American fare..burgers, steaks, bison burgers, salads & sandwiches with 2 fully stocked bars & 2 patios. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcouch314 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Westport Plaza → West Port Plaza – The St. Louis Post-Dispatch refers to the shopping center as West Port Plaza in [1], [2], and [3]. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:11, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose: Shoddy journalism, newspapers often makes mistakes, typos, etc... it is Westport Plaza. One of those articles actually uses both Westport and West Port. The development's official website confirms the current Wikipedia page title is correct: http://www.westportstl.com/. Bhockey10 (talk) 22:06, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The plaza's own website uses Westport. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 18:58, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The official name is irrelevant, Wikipedia uses the most common name to title its articles. A gnews archive search clearly shows that "West Port" is more common: 239 results for "Westport Plaza" "Maryland Heights", compared to 945 for "West Port Plaza" "Maryland Heights".
