The result was no consensus. Very little evidence of notability, but there's clearly diverse views on how to consider shopping malls in the context of WP:NPLACE. Mildly it would be good to have this clarified as a policy outcome, somewhere more central than this AfD. -- Euryalus (talk) 11:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Yet another generic shopping mall article with no notability whatsoever. Does not pass WP:GEOFEAT. Entire article is written as a shopping directory. WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTGUIDE, WP:NOTADVERT. Ajf773 (talk) 09:04, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, unfortunately. All of the cited sources are first party sources. This might meet WP:GEOFEAT if somebody wanted to scare up third party references. If kept, needs a major formatting and wikification pass.  A  Train ''talk 11:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I'm using WP:UCS as there is a strong presumption there is sources in the Thai language as this appears to be a major shopping center that would never get considered for deletion if this were in the US or UK (see WP:BIAS). The first parting sources are in English for the benefit of international investors. --Oakshade (talk) 02:20, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NPLACE: "Larger shopping malls are often found to be notable." This article, the Thai wiki article and the images do indicate that this is a major mall. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:59, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This article as it stands has no evidence of notability. Approximately 95% of it is a directory of stores and opening hours, none of which has any encyclopedic value and is What Wikipedia is not. Ajf773 (talk) 21:30, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * If a major mall meets WP:NPLACE, the current state of the article isn't going to change things. If you object to certain content in the article, you're free to edit and remove text. The article lead gives a sufficient indication of its notability. We have enough WP:V to verify it exists. This is not a "generic mall," as you've claimed, far as I can see.

 * Keep 363 stores puts it in the largest category of malls.  I found that "Central Pattana Public Company Limited" is listed by bloomberg.com.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:24, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
