Mexican Coca Cola

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Originally nominated and deleted under PROD: "not notable; it's one of dozens of varieties of Coca-Cola that don't have their own pages". The PROD was later contested, but I still feel that this is deletable for the original reasons. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

The reason this article is back in the first place is because some guy copied an article and pasted it here. I reverted it back to my version to keep it encyclopedic. And I think this should be kept. In my opinion, either all of the Coke varieties should have their own article, or none of them should. Keep.--jonrev 03:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The main Coca-Cola article can mention the fact that Mexico (and Canada, and possibly elsewhere) still uses sugar instead of HFCS. The rest of the article is unsourced and reads like WP:OR. Torc2 05:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that Mexican Coca Cola is a seperate concept from Coca Cola itself. Indeed, the central contention to notability, that Mexican Coke uses cane sugar rather than HFCS as its primary sweetener isn't that big a deal anyways; since Coca Cola is bottled in the U.S. by independant bottlers who use their own sweeteners it is quite likely that several U.S. bottlers use cane sugar as well  See Coca-Cola.  I am certain of it, as I have personally drank sugar-sweetened Coke in Delaware, sold in green glass returnable bottles.  I am digressing here, however, since Mexican Coca-Cola is no different than any other Coca Cola in the sense that it is bottled independantly and thus has different formulations from place to place.  --Jayron32| talk | contribs  06:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Might deserve mention in some other article (with sources), but I don't think the topic is notable enough for its own article. Just as a personal anecdote, I can confirm that it is true that Mexican Coca Cola is sold in Mexican grocery stores and restaurants in the United States, and that it comes in glass bottles. --Itub 09:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Any relevant info already not in the main Coke article can be added there. GlassCobra 16:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable unto itself, and the rest is not only OR, it's not even well done OR.  Last sentence is blatantly false about CCC trying to stop it - if they are, then why can I buy it by the case at the Walmart in south Everett, Washington? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 21:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I removed the line stating that CCC was trying to stop the sale of MexiCoke in the states. If you're curious about the text, read the rev history. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Inaccurate anyway. Coca-Cola's flavor changed in 1980, before the 1985 New Coke stunt, when the high fructose corn syrup was substituted for sugar.  That sugar is still used by some bottling companies in Mexico (or Hawaii) does not make the product "Mexican", any more than a Pepsi at Taco Bell is Mexican.  Mandsford 15:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
