Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Colonel Warden/Dakota Malting and Brewing Company

 __NOINDEX__
 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was  Keep - The argument "no one is using this" is a weak argument in the face of the counter-argument "Hey, I'm using that". Given the existence of Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles, deletion only creates more work for everyone, and pages do make it out of draft years later.

 * Delete WP:STALEDRAFT clearly applies. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, cf. . --MZMcBride (talk) 17:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete- after more than three years it is clear that there is no intention to work on this. Reyk  YO!  02:03, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This MFD should have never existed. See comments here.  bibliomaniac 1  5  07:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep because WP:ILIKEIT. :-D Seriously, I found the article interesting, and I'm disappointed that it isn't in article space. I presume it got deleted for lack of sufficient WP:RS sourcing to indicate notability. IMO, pages like this one deserve to be kept in the user space of an active user (which Col. Warden is) until such time as the necessary sourcing turns up. As it happens, I found this public radio station web page about the brewery... Furthermore, it seems to me that pages like this one belong in an External links section of the article. --Orlady (talk) 19:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If you want to work on it, take it. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep The page has just been gathering dust in my user space because I have had no pressing reason to work upon it and such user pages have not been brought to my attention. Now that they have, I am ready to do something about it and have made a start with User:Colonel Warden/Automobile ownership, which is coming along nicely.  I am quite busy with other things in my life too though and so I don't currently have time to work upon all these topics at once.  If Orlady wants to take over this one, that's fine by me.

 * It's all yours, Colonel W! There's no deadline at Wikipedia, but I look forward to seeing this at DYK some day. :-) --Orlady (talk) 02:31, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Blank during inactivity, replacing with Inactive userpage blanked. Articles for deletion/Dakota Malting and Brewing Company was a close call for deletion, and this is an excellent candidate for improvement.  There are no time limits, but material on trading companies is best not kept live and visible in userspace for long periods.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
