[edit] Dutch Gold

Fails to meet WP:CORP no particular assertion of notability - no sources have been provided to establish notability or genericisation of trademark Politepunk 10:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per my nomination - Politepunk 10:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment Using google to search for "dutch gold" lager yields 383 pages, including some prominent wikihits. The same search for "carlsberg" lager yields 941,000 pages. The same search for "heineken" lager yields 723,000 hits. For me that implies some disparity in notability. WP:Corp provides guidleines for asessing the notability of products, in my opinion, Dutch Gold fails to meet those (as stated in the nomination). - Politepunk 14:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - is this some sort of joke? This page is for an extremely popular beer in the Republic Of Ireland. "no particular assertion of notability". You can clearly see in the pictures that it is indeed a genuine type of beer. If you delete this particular beer, then I assume you'll be deleting the pages of every other produced beer on Wikipedia? Heineken, Carslberg etc? utterly ridiculous. Jayteecork 11:51, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Check Google for its notability: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=dutch+gold+lager&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8. Dutch Gold is an icon of the underclasses. It's up there with Buckfast (Buckfast_Tonic_Wine), Mitsu's (List_of_street_names_of_drugs#Ecstasy_.28MDMA.29) and shwernheedels. Perhaps the article could just have some sources appended ? There are many, and there's even a Dutch Gold Appreciation Society (us 'keep'ers are members). --Piperoo 13:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable product with a popular culture profile, despite being horrible. Keresaspa 14:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This page, describing a widely known product, was featured on an national Irish radio station.

Comment Does that imply that it is the page that is making the beer notable? - Politepunk 19:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment I think it quite clearly implies that the product is sufficiently notable for its inclusion on wikipedia to elicit a response on an Irish national radio station.

Comment This is hilarious. This guy "politepunk" still thinks this beer doesn't deserve it's inclusion on Wikipedia. The mind boggles. Unfortunately Wikipedia is full of such people, thinking they know what's best for everyone. Jayteecork 18:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment Nobody, including the new editors who have shown up to register their opinion here, has provided any sources to show why it meets the guidelines for notable products suggested by WP:CORP; that's why I still think that this article doesn't merit inclusion of wikipedia. Look at the number of google results quoted above, is every product that is made or bought anywhere in the world worthy of inclusion? Additionally, please read WP:CIVIL. - Politepunk 21:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keepm notable product. --Terence Ong 15:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It's a well-known (rather nasty in my personal opinion) beer in Ireland. Dlyons493 Talk 22:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Well-known and entirely notable cheap beer. ergot 19:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
