This is an advertisement for a non-notable beverage. Is it impressive that they won a gold medal at this San Francisco World Spirits Awards thing? Not when you see that there are forty pages of winners. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 06:19, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search brought up nothing but an insanely brief mention in the Irish Examiner as far as the company or whiskey goes, so I was unable to find anything that showed that this drink has any notability. As far as the awards go, I don't see where they have enough (or any) notability to give enough weight for the article to be kept on the basis of those alone. Now I'm not saying that the awards are completely nothing, but when there's little to no coverage of the actual event and the only people that mention the product winning the award are merchant sites and the award site, then I'm going to guess that these aren't major awards in this field. A search for the awards in general really don't bring up any results, as the only people that actively comment on the products winning the awards are the companies that won them. I understand that awards in the alcohol world aren't as heavily covered as say, the Oscars, but if these were notable enough to keep the entry on its own then there'd be some independent and secondary coverage of these awards.Tokyogirl79 06:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Of the thousands of new beverages created every year, to win these awards during infant stages is, in fact, a notable achievement. You are correct in stating that the notoriety of the awards themselves is not obvious. I would imagine that is because you do not have prior knowledge of the spirits industry. These awards are in fact very significant to industry professionals and companies, they distinguish the brands to which they are awarded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oreilly.spf (talk • contribs) 21:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)  comment moved down here by &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 23:04, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * What ultimately matters is if the awards are notable per Wikipedia guidelines, which they do not appear to be. This isn't a slur against the spirit world, just that 99.9% of the awards given in any given category are not enough to warrant keeping an article on the merit of the awards alone. No matter if the awards were won in the first few years of business or after fifty years of producing whiskey, the awards aren't notable enough per Wikipedia's guidelines to keep an article just by receiving them. Heck, an award can be well known but still not show notability for an article except under specific conditions, but what's telling here is that nobody has really commented on the awards except for merchant sites. The type of awards that would show notability are the ones that get tons of news coverage.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:27, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
