List of soft drinks by country
Yet another unmaintainable list - all nations on earth, every brand of fizz, tea, coffee, energy drink (do we then include supermarket own brands too?) ...... --Doc (?) 00:13, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's been a part of the soft drink article for some time and was split off because it got too big. This isn't unmaintable as evidenced by its coverage so far. The question of encyclopedic note is marginal, but seeing as it has survived in its original article, I suppose it must be. -Splash 01:02, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, provides useful categorization of information on list's subject matter of soft drinks. Dcarrano 01:58, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Splash; I think it is encyclopedic enough for inclusion. - Jersyko   talk  01:59, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Presumably this is only for major (read:notable) soft drinks.--Pharos 02:57, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep per Splash. As Pharos notes, it's probably one of the few lists of its kind.--Mitsukai 15:50, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge back to soft drink or else delete. While "soft drink" is an encyclopedic concept, and a list existing as part of more extensive treatment of that concept is encyclopedic, the list on its own is not encyclopedic.  The Literate Engineer 20:45, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; too big to merge into an article. - Mustafaa 21:36, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
