The result was no consensus. Although I argued differently in the US malls AFD, there's a lack of consensus in this AFD, and the US malls AFD was closed as no consensus as well. There does not seem to be consensus for deleting these at this time. W.marsh 16:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

List of shopping malls in Thailand

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a directory. Neither is it a collection of indiscriminate information. Notable malls can be found in the category. • 97198  talk  01:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, possibly categorize. Wikipedia is not a directory.  Wait, I just realized there already is a category for this information.  Delete.  Useight 02:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * keep The attacks on lists with the argument that WP is not a directory is a false argument. Every list is a 'directory' and WP accepts lists.  This list of one of 46 similar lists in its category and there is no stated justification for deleting any of them.  Hmains 02:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is exactly what lists are for and fits the textbook definition of WP:LIST of where and how lists should be used, in manners that can never be achieved using categories, as suggested. As to WP:NOT, this list provides a clear, well-defined, unambiguously-classified list of useful information. Plain and simple, given that the policies quoted are completely and totally irrelevant to this article, there is no Wikipedia policy justification for deletion of this list, other than WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

 * Weak keep and complete rewrite. The article is a mess. It confuses shopping malls, hypermarkets and department stores. Virtually all content is unsourced, including malls described as "upcoming". One of the entries (Tokyu MBK, Siam Square) seems to be a store within another (separately listed) mall. The links are partly useless (for example Rama III or Metro Mall). All of these issues can be addressed by editing and don't necessitate deletion, but it might be easier to delete it and start anew. In principle, it may serve all three purposes given in WP:LIST, so it's a valid topic for a Wikipedia entry. Huon 12:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete. Would be easier to clean this up by starting from scratch.  A quick look shows that most entries are not about malls.  Vegaswikian 21:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Every list is not a directory, this, however, borders on the yellow pages. Punkmorten 21:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
