List of shopping malls converted to outdoor format

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable list of America-centric trivia. The majority of the linked malls themselves do not have articles, and I believe this fails WP:NOT. Perhaps an article should be created detailing this phenomena, and incorporating a few examples, but a massive, unverified list of malls is useless. Falard 13:51, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Dead mall. That's the topical article about the phenomenon of indoor malls that are abandoned, and thus are candidates for conversion. The listed articles that are live links would add value to that article as examples.--orlady 14:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't see the sense in doing that, considering that List of defunct shopping malls, which would be the more logical candidate for merging into Dead mall, is likely going to be deleted outright.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I want to merge the blue links from both this list and List of defunct shopping malls into Dead mall. The fact that the two AFDs were started on different days should not prevent us from considering them as a package.--orlady 18:57, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Personally, I'd pass, because down the road we'll end up with the same listcruft scenario as we have in the two separate articles. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * And now "defunct" has been deleted without a merge. Is this still your position on the issue of merging?  I say bad idea, personally.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge' bluelinks into dead mall per Orlady. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 15:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Per my comment on Articles for deletion/List of defunct shopping malls (2nd nomination), it appears that the former article is going to be deleted, so delete this one as well on the same grounds as List of defunct shopping malls. Don't merge it, just delete it.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There's apparently not an article about the "outdoor format" mall, nor am I aware of what the name is for a mall designed to look like a small town, though I've recently read of this marketing concept. Merge into Dead mall or into an existing article about the non-mall mall. Mandsford 17:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per mandsford. Note that once notable, is always notable. Also as a gut feeling it would seem malls that have been converted would be more likely to be highly notable than those which have not been. Mathmo Talk 21:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
