Let's take another look at CSD A7--this article asserts importance quite clearly, so it is not speedy material. I can assure you I am aware of the criteria for speedy deletion since I go around deleting stuff all day. If you want to take this up at AfD, go ahead. Irongargoyle 01:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
While Irongargoyle is quite right that the article doesn't meet A7, I'm not clear on how it is notable. Both source mentions are "in passing" (though I'll take a scan through the NPR piece to see if it details the site some more.) Even that wouldn't be multiple non-trivial mentions, however, and the first source is a "mention in passing"-unquestionably trivial. Seraphimblade 01:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
What else is there to be said? Deadmalls.com is a dead website. It sports the same gloom of better-days-gone-by as the malls they "highlight". Most of the information they post has dates on it from the mid-oughts.
The subject's notability was marginal from the start, but now it's just over and done.
