delete, we do not need a list of the largest shopping malls in the Philippines or anywhere for that matter. This list attracts spammers like shit attract flies. Most of the information is geared to what stores they have and more advertisement than an unencyclopedic list. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 17:31, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A perfectly valid list of notable entries. So what if it attract spammers? Request page protection, if needed. Do you want articles on George W. Bush deleted because it attracts vandalism? This is also part of the category Category:Lists of shopping malls. I think it should be renamed to List of shopping malls in the Philippines too.

No I think Bush is a notable jackass, a list of shopping malls is not. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 19:09, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge selectively (no need for lists of stores for example) into List of shopping malls in the Philippines - contains useful information that shouldn't be lost but there no need for this as a separate list. The Whispering Wind (talk) 19:17, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This list is appropriate as a guide to the largest malls in a country full of them, and it serves a different function from the larger but less detailed List of shopping malls in the Philippines, which is intended to include all the bluelinked malls in the country. Compare List of largest shopping malls in the United States and List of shopping malls in the United States and pther similar coverage at Category:Lists of shopping malls.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't see any reason to merge either, as there are lists of buildings and structures and then there are lists of tallest buildings and structures. --RioHondo (talk) 04:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve. A valid list article with a well-stated inclusion criteria, "shopping malls in the Philippines with a gross leasable area of at least 100,000 square meters". Also, the nomination is rather subjective, rather than guideline or policy based. The article does not have a particularly promotional tone.

Keep - For all the reasons already given and in particular agree "the nomination is rather subjective". VMS Mosaic (talk) 01:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - no valid reason given. I have long-term-semi-protected the article. Bearian (talk) 19:35, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
