List of beverages/soft drinks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unworkable list, certainly in this table format and with this title: as stands is a List of carbonated drinks by major US manufacturers. Where is orange juce, or even a place for it, for instance. Or Irn-bru. And so on TheLongTone (talk) 17:29, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Overly broad list parameters. List of carbonated beverages made in the United States might pass muster, if that's what this is supposed to be. But there are tens of thousands of beverages in a world so at this is structured it is either going to be so incomplete as to be useless or so overly long as to be useless....

 * Delete per WP:CLT. Better served by a category. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:06, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Rename to List of carbonated beverages made in the United States per nominator and Carrite, whose arguments fail WP:ATD which enjoins us to exhaust the alternative to deletion before deleting. In this case the rename is a viable option.  Presidentman's argument falls foul of WP:CLN which says that if a category is appropriate then a list probably is as well.  (Lists are sometimes more helpful than categories to our end-users because few end-users use categories proficiently, lists can be sortable, and they can be watched.)— S Marshall  T/C 16:41, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
