The result was Procedural close. We can't start changing Dixie Mall at this AfD. Consider a formal requested move at which if successful this DAB would be eligible for speedy deletion. Barkeep49 (talk) 04:25, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neither entity is called "Dixie Mall". As far as I can tell, no mall was ever specifically just called "Dixie Mall". Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 21:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: all handled by hatnote on the US mall. Googling suggests that the Canadian mall is definitely referred to informally as "Dixie Mall"- it's quite likely the primary topic so the redirect is going to the wrong one, but this dab page is certainly redundant in any case unless we decide there's no primary topic in which case it should be at Dixie Mall instead of the redirect.

Oh WP:SOFIXIT: I've made a dab page at Dixie Mall. This can now be a redirect to it, so...
Redirect to new dab page at Dixie Mall as it isn't clear which is the primary topic. PamD 09:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There are only 2 possible uses and a disambiguation page is not required. Redirect Dixie Mall to Dixie Outlet Mall and put a hatnote there. Shhhnotsoloud (talk)
  • Delete. Per XLbHammer. No disambiguation is necessary. Edison (talk) 19:41, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I reverted the copy-and-paste duplication of the dab content to the base name. If there's no longer a primary topic, the existing disambiguation page should be moved to the base name. If there's a primary topic (either the current one or the Canadian mall), then the disambiguation page should be deleted. -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, as my attempt to WP:SOFIXIT failed, delete but also retarget Dixie Mall to the Canadian mall which is clearly often thus referred to, rather than the defunct US one. We don't need a dab page if we agree to move from one as primary topic to the other as PT, rather than my proposed compromise of no PT. PamD 22:13, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
