Black Dog Scotch Whisky

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not seem to be a notable company and article is written more like an advert. Denniss (talk) 15:03, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: Some of the advertising mess was just created in the last day or two. I just did some cleanup – please take a look. —BarrelProof (talk) 15:40, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: I created the article. I think the brand is notable. Its existence since 1883 would suggest that. The whisky is owned by United Spirits Limited (second largest spirit company by volume), and is one of the few Indian owned Scotch brands. The article cites several reliable sources, and the whisky has won several awards. There was also a "In popular culture" section which noted that the whisky was prominently mentioned in a Bollywood film, but that was also removed in that edit. I completely agree with the advert part. Unfortunately, that is the result of this recent edit, which among other things has used Facebook as a source. That just needs to be cleaned up (might do it when I get time). BigJolly9 (talk) 15:56, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Very old brand, from a distiller created in 1883. The article is full of history of a company which I didn't know exist. Clearly notable. Good article, with good solid sources. scope_creep talk 18:11 12 October 2013 (UTC)
