List of shopping malls in Maryland
Unnecessary duplication of Category:Shopping_malls_in_Maryland as a list article. It provides nothing useful in existing as its own article and even gets listed at Category:List_of_shopping_malls_in_Maryland...which is just a redirect to this list article... ju66l3r 04:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Discussion note: There is a related CfD for the duplicate category.


 * Weak Keep If someone expands it.  P eople Powered 05:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete - sure looks like a noobie got confused (and totally agree with GassyGuy below).&mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 10:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, not redundant to the category because the list contains redlinks. JYolkowski // talk 13:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of shopping malls in the United States. Kirjtc2 15:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Informational list. Why not? -  Mike   | trick or treat   15:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There's a very good reason the list contains red links. It's a list of shopping malls - only so many malls are notable. Do you really want someone to come through and write an article about every mall? "XYZ is a shopping mall located in City, Maryland. It has this store and this store and this store and this store. It has a parking lot. It has this and this and this and this in the food court." I understand that sometimes lists can help to point out notable entries needing to be created, but I don't see that this list has chosen an appropriate topic for which to do so.

 * Delete No reason for this to exist. Valrith 21:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. -Patstuart 21:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The creator of the article being discussed here went ahead and wrote an article for one of the red linked malls as well: Harford Mall. Please look at this and tell me why this list should signal articles to be created when most of the elements therein cannot have articles written about them that say much more than this one.

 * Delete per Gassy. Ultra-Loser Talk 03:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep; not redundant since this list both contains redlinks and is organized on a non-alphabetical basis. Christopher Parham (talk) 16:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per User:Gassy. Needless, unencyclopedic list - not every collection of mortar is notable and this is not a directory.  Eusebeus 17:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of shopping malls in the United States. --Neo 05:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If you look at that list (the US one), it restricts itself to notable malls. The few notable malls from the list in question are already present on the US list - there's no content to merge. GassyGuy 16:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
