[edit] Kole Beer

Contested speedy. A non notable drink bottled and distrubuted by Coca Cola's Australia franchise. As the article stands it is a list of ingredients and the advice that you can buy it Nuttah68 20:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - as long as similar products have articles. The JPS^{talk to me} 21:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. In these days of global brands, some people take pride in their local or national brands, such as Kole Beer in Australia, spruce beer in Quebec, Moxie in some places in the United States, or Irn-Bru in Scotland. I think that many Australians prefer an Australian brand to a global one, even if it is bottled by the local bottler of Coca-Cola. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I wont say delete just yet, but the article doesn't say anything about the product at all... If it had something interesting it may be worth an article, otherwise I am going to have to say that I think speedy G11 fits in this case. Ansell 22:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Expanding the article will probably require some book research, since there don't seem to be many online sources. I recognize that the article is a stub. I would keep the article and hope that some Australian editor with access to print references will eventually expand the article. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 23:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Real brand of nationally distributed beer. That the article currently has very little information is an issue about expanding, not whether the suject should have an article or not. --Oakshade 00:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Real brand with minimal to none coverage. Nothing in Google News or Google News archive. [1] A search for "Kole beer" in EBBSCO's Australia and New Zealand database says "No results were found." As an Australian, I hadn't heard of this brand although I had heard of Kirks. I doubt that there are any written sources for this. Capitalistroadster 06:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I don't care for this product, but it appears to be nationally distributed. Notable enough for me. Lankiveil 00:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC).
