Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/South Gin

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. Normally I'd go with merge with votes like this below, but their intentions involved another article that was on VfD and was kept. So if some enterprising youngster wants to be bold and merge this puppy somewhere, I won't squawk, but I'm not going to do it myself. Postdlf 23:04, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Create Pacific Dawn Distillers and move the content there. Mikkalai 04:39, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, advert. Megan1967 05:40, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why delete this? It's a brand just like Coca-cola. The other alcoholic beverage produced by PDD, 42 Below, has its own page; why not this too?
 * Comment. Good point. See Votes for deletion/42 BELOW. FreplySpang (talk) 15:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

OK, it seems the 42 Below (brand) deletion tag has been removed; this is also a brand owned by 42 Below Limited. Lets remove this deletion request too. More will be added to this page as the brand becomes more popular. Cheers.
 * Merge with 42 BELOW to form Pacific Dawn Distillers. Individual brands are rarely noteable (I have spent ages reducing Category:Brands of beer by merging stubs into brewery articles where they belong, but companies who produce things have more permanence, and this is would make a small article about a distiller using local ingredients to make a NZ distilled product range.

 * I'm with Justinc; merge the two brands into one article, leaving redirects behind. Deletion would be inappropriate, since the current text doesn't actually encourage one to purchase the drink, even if some of the text reads like slightly POV ad-copy. It's not a fantastic article, but it is wearing its stub tag like a good boy and some South Gin fancier will come along eventually. Dave1898 12:27, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
