Delete. It is a list of shopping malls that do not have articles. Wikipedia is not a directory. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not because I don't think it's a notable topic, but because it's unsourced and not informative. There are some good lists of malls, some of which would serve as a model for a good article. Mandsford 01:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It is actually a list of shopping centres rather than malls. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 01:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then that's different-- to the author, don't bother sourcing that one. Mandsford 16:11, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference between a shopping mall and a shopping centre (except for the term "shopping mall" being mainly used in North-America)? --Lambiam 22:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Things such as layout and land ownership are different. Malls are an international thing. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not only do the malls/centres listed not have articles on the English Wikipedia, they also have no articles on the Dutch Wikipedia, except for Batavia Stad. That is not due to a lack of attention to shopping centres on the Dutch Wikipedia: their Categorie:Winkelcentrum in Nederland lists 57 articles on individual shopping centres, some of which even have articles on other-language Wikipedias: Amsterdamse Poort (shopping centre), ja:アムステルダム・ポート, fr:MegaStores, and es:Schiphol Plaza. The only one among these 57 occurring on this article's list is Batavia Stad. --Lambiam 22:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have a recollection that there are few, if any malls in the Netherlands. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
