Article is pretty much an apparent violation of NOTDIRECTORY, containing nothing more than a laundry list of SM Supermalls and their branches. If people really needed a directory, it can easily be found on the company's own website. The article already needed a massive clean-up by removing a lot of those supposed proposed and future malls without verifiable and independent sources.

Not proposing yet to remove the other notable SM Supermalls that have own separate articles (such as SM North EDSA, Megamall, Mall of Asia, etc). GrayFullbuster (talk) 05:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I may add, a large chunk (if not majority of the sources) are from the corporation SM Prime Holdings itself, not necessarily independent. If not delete, I at least propose that it be re-directed back to the main SM Supermalls article. GrayFullbuster (talk) 06:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trim then merge to SM_Supermalls#Locations per nom and WP:ATD --Lenticel ^(talk) 07:17, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Shopping malls, Lists, and Philippines. Shellwood (talk) 09:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trim and merge per Lenticel. Suggested columns to retain: number (if feasible), name, location, and opening date. The descriptions are best transferred to the malls' articles themselves (if properly-sourced with non-independent sources). Remove images altogether, per recent precedences in lists like at Philippine highway network (discourage gallery-like content), and also to alleviate no-Freedom of Panorama violations on Commons (as there is little need to share more images on Commons if there is no "Image" column on the first place).
