This article seems completely redundant to Category:Shopping malls in the United States, and has more potential to be incorrect and incomplete than the category. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * keep Article has redlinks and non-linked names of enters. It thus contains information that can never be available in a category. It also contains the city where each mall is located, which is not found by looking at the category. Categories are not the same as lists and both can and do co-exist for the same subject area; this is not discouraged by any WP policy or guideline. Hmains (talk) 04:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia is the only encyclopedia I've ever heard of where people involved persistently try to kill the index pages. It's not a helpful position. Rebecca (talk) 09:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - what has changed since the last 3 AfD's to warrent a deletion now? I understand you may feel more comfortable browsing via :Cat's but (as per WP:CLN) others prefer other methods. This List is perfectly acceptable. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  02:53, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as this list meets the criteria for lists on Wikipedia and serves a useful purpose for both organization and navigation. - Dravecky (talk) 04:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per previously listed reasons. Asher196 (talk) 04:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
