Melbourne Beer War
Not notable. There is no such "beer war" in Melbourne or Australia, and a list of pubs owned by a specific company doesn't deserve to be in an encyclopedia. Delete. Somebody in the WWW 23:52, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. What a stupid article, there really is nothing interesting or useful about this article. The list of pubs that are "believed" to be in association with a certain organisation should not be included. -- AxSkov 01:04, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 01:32, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Factual, verifiable, useful and interesting. Very obvious keep - although the article should be renamed as Liquor industry competion in Victoria, and the list of hotels should be removed as speculation. --Centauri 01:50, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I can't judge if this is true. If it is, it seems interesting enough. But I don't see why one episode in the competition in one market (beer) in one city (Melbourne) deserves such a long article in an encyclopedia -- yes, even in an encyclopedia that's not printed on paper. (It's hardly as dramatic as beer wars in Prohibition-era Chicago.) Make it a lot more concise, and add the result to Tooheys. In a word, merge. Hoary 05:49, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
 * I'm with Centauri. I found the article interesting and useful, too.  I say, rename, get rid of the list of pubs, and it could use some trimming, as Hoary said.  I think it's worthy of its own page. HWelles 07:40, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * the article does contain useful information, which should be merged into the appropriate page or re-writen. Xtra 12:15, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
