WikiProject Shopping Centers, formerly WikiProject Dead Malls, is a project to better organize information in articles related to shopping centers. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

In terms of shopping malls in particular, as of June 22, 2020, I have found three malls that have directly attributed the pandemic to the permanent closure of their business. These malls are Northgate Mall in Durham, North Carolina, [1] Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix, Arizona, [2] and Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington. [3]
Let's start with our stubs. We have 1,321 stubs within the scope of our project! Help where you can!
Articles about individual malls, especially defunct ones, should take a look primarily at the mall's history. Most reasonable people would not build a retail center like a shopping mall intending for it to fail. Thus the guiding question on these kinds of articles is, "What brought this facility to the state it is in today?"
A few points worth including when writing or refining an article on a shopping mall if sources can be found:
If the mall is a dead mall, the following may also be taken into consideration:
Ideally, such information should be listed in chronological order.
Articles covered by this project are sorted and rated according to quality. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Shopping Centers/Assessment for more information about the rating next to the article titles.
Note: In Progress
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
Currently, the only 3 existing Templates are:
