Talk:List of shopping malls in Saskatoon

Wikipedia is not a directory ... this article, and all of the malls linked to it, should be deleted. &mdash; 02:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Either Don't Delete Page or move it to Category:Shopping malls in Saskatoon
I think this article should be left alone and NOT deleted. If this page is breaking the "Wikipedia is not a directory" rule then I think it should be moved to Category:Shopping malls in Saskatoon and made into a category page. --RER 03:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Is this article considered more of a stand-alone list or a directory? --RER 16:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Lists (stand-alone lists)
 * List of shopping malls in Saskatoon Leave well enough alone. If one deletes this list one might as well delete all similar lists. Peter Horn User talk 17:39, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you are missing the point here Peter. An attempt is being made to delete all similar lists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.182.175 (talk) 07:19, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Re User talk:Divebomb & User talk:Peter Horn. Fair enough. To me a list is a list or quick index or directory, and as such it is not meant to have any "content". But if Category:Shopping malls in Saskatoon or Category:Saskatoon Shopping malls can be made to do the job then by all means transfer the content to the category however that would still leave what to do with List of shopping malls in Saskatoon. In the mean time, do not delete this list and others until a "Category" has been made to take over the function. Here follows a partial and very incomplete list of "lists" that eventually should be transferred to an appropriate "category" and there after deleted. A monumental job ahead.

Careful with use of terminology
Please be careful in applying a label incorrectly. I removed the designation "outlet mall" from a couple of places that clearly are not and yes I'm familiar with them. I think I'll also remove it from Plaza 22 because it's more of a power centre-strip mall hybrid (although it predated the power centre concept by about 25 years). 68.146.41.232 17:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There also is no need to include an index of mall-related wikilinks here; I've deleted it. 68.146.41.232 18:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Use of the term "mall"
The term mall should never be applied to so-called "power centres" or "big box". I'm seeing this with regards to places like River City Landing. A mall is an enclosed shopping centre. A strip mall is a shopping centre with outdoor entrances that consists primarily of one or two (often no) anchors and the rest being small shops. Shopping centres consisting of the so-called "big box" retailers therefore cannot be called either malls or strip malls (though there are some developments that mix the forms; technically Midtown Plaza since it's primarily a mall, yet it also hosts a single big box retailer, Toys R Us). 68.146.81.123 (talk) 13:32, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
