Airdale Brewing Company

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Spammy article about a non-notable brewery. The only references cited are self-referential, and I found only passing mentions at Google News Archive. They have only been in business for 4 years, and they do not seem to have won any major awards; most Wikipedia-listed breweries have won multiple national awards.

 * Update: per the research cited below, I will add to my deletion arguments the fact that the brewery is now defunct, so is unlikely to generate any future coverage which might add to its notability. --MelanieN (talk) 22:39, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

KEEP Brewery was in existence for about four years and was served locally in the San Diego area. May adjust some of the wording to lesson the "spamminess". I have adjusted the article to reflect their closing. Article should be kept for historical accuracy and reference. When "Airdale Brewing Company" is searched there are no shortage of articles that reference this brewery (certainly more than I would categorize as "passing mentions"). Specifically, it might be notable to the San Diego and mico-brewing community due to it's closure. 21:51, 28 September 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.167.148 (talk)  — 173.79.167.148 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete, although I enjoy craft beer, and hail from the greater San Diego region, looking at what reliably sourced content is out there, there is not sufficient significant coverage for the subject to meet WP:GNG or WP:COMPANY. Hopefully this company will produce its stoat again, as it sounds like something that I would like to try, but that doesn't mean that the company is presently notable.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:12, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - The spamminess factor is offset by the fact that this is a defunct commercial entity. As such, the information becomes historical and should be treasured. Meets GNG, see, for example THIS COVERAGE from West Coaster SD — the San Diego beer community's internet trade publication. Carrite (talk) 16:21, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete - Although it appears that the brewery has not won any awards, this is probably due to the fact that they only operated for four years. I'm inclined to keep this article because Google News archives results provided, what I believe is enough, to support the content. As I mentioned, I agree that the company has not gained any significant awards or achievements, and I considered voting delete, but I think this article has reasonable number of local sources (for four years) for now. I will add the sources I have found to the article shortly. EDIT: After reviewing the sources I found, I have realised that they were not sufficient for notability, with one of them being a user reviews website. I have slightly improved the article's appearance but I think it is not enough. I attempted to search for sources to support the "Altitude and Horizon are their flagship beers" but found none.

 * Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. And responding to Carrite above, if the best reason to keep this is a short article in a local specialist publication noting that the company no longer exists, then the case is not very strong.  Logical Cowboy (talk) 03:29, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
