Shopping in Kuala Lumpur[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article written in the form of an essay and/or a travel guide. Poorly sourced and mostly original research. It contains a list of shopping centres that can already be found at List of shopping malls in Malaysia therefore it also acts somewhat as a content fork.

delete I think the article needs to be substantially rewritten because it's mixed promo, lacking in npov and actual sources outside of 'visit here' type pages but I think Shopping in Taipei, Shopping in Hong Kongor Shopping in Chennai are good guides in the future for writing articles like this to avoid promo/guidebook like articles.

Keep Notable topic. For example, see The Consumption of Kuala Lumpur or Shopping for Antiques & Collectibles: Singapore & Malaysia or Shopping Centres in Kuala Lumpur: Structural Change of the Malaysian Retail Market. Andrew D. (talk) 21:37, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I was about to !vote for a merge to Kuala Lumpur, but it appears that "Shopping in" articles are acceptable here. But more importantly, there does appear to be several books and other sources about shopping in Kuala Lumpur: enough to establish notability and to write an article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - per Andrew Davidson; the article is poorly written but this is best addressed through improvements rather than deletion Spiderone 12:20, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - been there, done it. Other than a couple of mosques and skyscrapers, the only thing for tourists in that city is the malls and the Chinatown markets, and boy are they something to behold. Bearian (talk) 18:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
