I'm unable to tell if this article is actually serious or not:
 * "who says he was born before a lot of you"
 * Tony describes himself on his Facebook page “as probably the only Welshman in the village”.
 * their joint love for US detective series Bones, Murdoch Mysteries and Sue Thomas
 * etc.

This thing reads like part-resume/part-joke, and frankly I'm not amused. I don't even care to find if this person is real. Seems like someone who is not notable, and/or an article that's written as a mockery of wikipedia. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 13:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

*Weak Keep The brewery would probably more notable at present but we don't have an article on it as yet. And as the founder it would establish some notability. But article as it stands needs a lot of work and could probably have a lot removed down to a stub. Mo ainm ~Talk  15:30, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Im sorry to have offended you. Im new to wikipedia and its my 1st entry maybe some feedback would help? If you have any examples of wikipedia pages I could look at for inspiration I would like to hear your suggestions.        —Preceding unsigned comment added by P067874 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. You need to read Notability (people). Clarityfiend (talk) 20:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep long enough to see how it develops. The subject is potentially notable as the founder of a brewery. As per P067874's talk page, the author is new to Wikipedia, editing in good faith and working with a senior editor to improve his or her first article. If this piece still fills you with rage in six weeks' time, nom it again. But until then WP:DONTBITE --Whoosit (talk) 22:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm almost inclined to say keep on the basis of the brewery - which definitely does exist - but I'm not sure yet. The tone is quite promotional in places, and non-encyclopaedic in others. (It can be hard to be encyclopaedia at times - I have to be very careful at times and not say what I really want to say....) Peridon (talk) 14:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The brewery itself might merit an article if any sources have written about it, but from the content given, the CV of a minor businessman isn't going to meet WP:BIO. --McGeddon (talk) 16:03, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I have tried to do a little work on this article but unfortunatly I can't find any sources that will satisfy WP:BIO so I have changed to delete. Mo ainm  ~Talk  16:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I don't as yet have an opinion on the subject's notability, but I must point out that the nomination seems like it's written as a mockery of Wikipedia's deletion policy. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:23, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
