 * Comment. I don't understand what the term "out-of-town" shopping centres refers to. Brent Cross, for example, is located in the London Borough of Barnet, which has a population over 300,000 -- that doesn't sound like it was built outside of a municipality. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * In American English it would probably be defined as a large shopping mall, often with other leisure attractions like cinemas, rinks, etc., built on the outskirts/suburbs of major cities and not in the city centre. It's a far more common occurrence in the States/Canada.  Suburban Mall might also be a fair, shorthand description.  Ravendrop 22:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep and Merge/Re-create into Article title Out-of-Town Shopping Centre, as that term itself is notable. A quick google scholar search pulls up plenty of articles: International Journal of Retail and Distribution Management, A 200 page book, Out-of-Town Shopping Centres in the Netherlands, etc.  I'd also support a delete as point of starting over.
