Wasn't there a Montgomery Wards here at one point?

[edit] List of stores

I reverted the addition of the list of stores. I'm not totally against including a short list of the most important anchor stores, though there are 17 anchor stores (see the SEC 10-K link in References), and I'd rather not list all of them. The full (200+) list of stores is available to readers at the link at the bottom of the page, so I don't see that including the list here is particularly useful except for the few cases where a user may wish to click on an internal wikilink to read about the store. (but again, we're not going to wikilink 200 stores, so...) Also, any list of stores, should it be included, should be in paragraph form rather than a long list. The reason I'm somewhat sensitive about the issue is that this article was previously deleted as CSD-G11 (spam), and the person who deleted it also cited NOT a directory in reference to the group of mall articles that were deleted at the same time. If possible, it would be much better to stick to well-sourced prose rather than something resembling a business directory. (because regardless of what happens with deletion, a well-sourced well-written article makes for a better encyclopedia article anyway) --Interiot 20:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I think that at the very least, we should be consistent. Sure, Gurnee Mills has a million anchors, but if you're going to list every anchor on other malls' pages, why not this one too? Even if it's in paragraph form and not a list. TenPoundHammer 23:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
