Move to a subpage of
Wikipedia:WikiProject Malawi (without leaving behind a redirect). The large number of redlinks are a signal that this isn't one of your usual country indexes. As pointed out on the talk page and in the previous AfD, the bulk of the list has been generated from the entries in the Historical Dictionary of Malawi, and its main point is to serve as a guide to which articles are yet to be created (this is a valid list to have in projectspace). It's not helpful for readers as it contains less than half, possibly even less than a quarter, of all currently existing Malawi-related articles (hence the need to keep it out of mainspace). –

Delete. I don't understand what benefit Wikipedia users get out of this list. We already have a much better organizational system consisting of the categories and subcategories within
Category:Malawi. As a second choice, move per Uanfala. --

Move as per Uanfala. This kind of list is kept by all kinds of wikiprojects and looks like it would actually be helpful even for editors who aren't hugely familiar with Malawi if the entries are from the Historical Dictionary - a good hint about what topics are probably notable. Certainly not articlespace-useful though. --

Move per Uanfala. My intent in creating this was simply to track Wikipedia coverage vs a published index, essentially wikiproject material, but years before the project existed. How do we keep people from moving it out of project space? Do the page top notices need to be larger and redder or something?

Stick a wikiproject banner on top of it and a big line saying "This is a list of potential article titles maintained by WP Malawi based on the Historical Dictionary of Malawi" or something on it? --
