List of malls in Pennsylvania

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete, we have a category that adequately covers the subject; this rather poor start of an article illustrates the fundamental unmaintainability of the undertaking. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep- I've said it before, and it appears I have to say it again: being redundant to a category is not a reason for deletion. This list can be expanded within reason, and it can certainly be sourced. Umbralcorax (talk) 20:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There are other lists that overlap the categories, such as Shopping malls in New Jersey and List of shopping malls in Michigan. I can help to expand and source the list; it is maintainable and verifiable, and being redundant to a category is not a reason for deletion.

 * Keep. Lists can be redundant to categories. Some things could be cats only and some lists only, but more reason is needed to cut one or the other. Not every mall deserves its own Wikipedia article, but could be worth including in this list. Shoester (talk) 21:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a sale at Penney's? Oh, Keep Seriously, as per the previous comments -- redundancy is not synonymous with non-notability. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep as a category can only contain articles about notable malls while this list can hold information about all of the shopping centers in the Keystone state, the existence of a category is not a valid reason to delete a list, and there were steps that should have been taken per WP:FIRST before this was brought to AfD just one week after it was created. - Dravecky (talk) 18:36, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
