Contested prod. This is a directory of malls and thus the page fails WP:NOTDIR policy. JBsupreme (talk) 16:43, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Simply saying "contested PROD" is an incredibly inadequate summary; an article that has been AfD'd as many times as this one has been should not have had a PROD in the first place. Keep per the logic provided in all the previous discussions, the most recent of which was barely two months ago. Glass  Cobra  16:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Last afd was only two months ago and was a keeper. No real rationale given. This list has a clear focus (sort of) and, though far from complete, can be fixed. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep on the procedural grounds that this article was a "keep" at AfD less that two months ago, no article that survives four rounds at AfD should ever get a prod tag without an amazingly good reason, and the nomination ignores both precedent and policy in its rationale. - Dravecky (talk) 18:46, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Speedy, as above.  No article that survives an AfD should get a prod, period.  That isn't what WP:PROD is for, uncontroversial deletion.John Z (talk) 20:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I see no real reason for deleting it, and it already passed a few AfDs, after which nothing much seems to have changed Firebat08 (talk) 21:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep also on the grounds this passed AFD with a keep decision less than 2 months ago. 23skidoo (talk) 22:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
