Partial title match. Neither mall is called just "The Great Mall", nor does either seem to be commonly abbreviated to "Great Mall" in parlance. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I get different search results. As to the Great Mall of the Bay Area in Milpitas, the first sentence of the lede states that it is often called "Great Mall", the official website uses the short name[1], the sign in the infobox photo uses the short name, and Google searches[2] seem to reflect any number of sources that just call it the "Great Mall", e.g.[3][4]. On the other hand, The Great Mall of the Great Plains in Olathe appears to be more consistently referred to by its full name, but the short form does appear to get occasional use, such as in the headline of this story[5].--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:45, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose deletion. There are indications these may be known by the shortened name. I'd be fine with changing this to redirect to the bay area mall as primary topic with a hatnote to the great plains mall. older ≠ wiser 20:36, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Here's another example of "Great Mall" being used as a shorthand for the The Great Mall of the Great Plains[6], but I agree that the Bay Area mall would be the more appropriate redirect target if we use that solution. We also have existing articles for Great Mall of Las Vegas (never built, but well-sourced) and Great Mall / Main Transit Center. For completeness I'd also note that there are also at least a couple of malls commonly known as the "Great Mall of China": Beijing's Golden Resources Mall, the infamously vacant New South China Mall in Dongguan, and San Gabriel Square (no article yet, but the nickname is well-known and is mentioned in the San Gabriel, California article.)--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:55, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
