This was originally speedy-deleted per CSD A7. DRV overturned, finding an assertion of notability. At least one source was also provided at the DRV, in an attempt to satisfy WP:V. Still, Weak delete, given notability concerns, pending other opinions. Xoloz 02:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep and add references Notable. One of the first brewpubs in Manhattan --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep pending incorporation of references from DRV. Being first is a claim to notability. --Dhartung | Talk 04:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - They also have won industry awards [1]. JulesH 07:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless massively improved. As explained at DRV, I don't consider the first brewpub in Manhatten claim to be credible. I suspect it may be notable, but it needs to be converted to a form that is verifiable, which should also solve the notability concern. GRBerry 12:31, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per article cited by JulesH ("Double threat: Real Ale and an award-winning pilsener are a winning combination for Manhattan Brewing Co - 1990 Microbrewery Report", Modern Brewery Age, May 14, 1990) but this extinct brewpub doesn't seem to be nearly as notable at the original Manhattan Brewing Company which was located in Chicago and accounts for most of the Google hits for the term "Manhattan Brewing Company". -- DS1953 talk 14:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ). Newyorkbrad 23:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

There are 29 hits for this business in the NYT Archive including these 3 that affirm that MBC was the the only brewery in NYC when it opened in 1984 though "many decades" should be changed to over a decade. New York Times – April 16 1984 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9507E5D91438F935A25757C0A962948260 New York Times –Nov 9 1984 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D00EFDD1139F93AA35752C1A962948260 New York Times – Feb 22 1985 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B01E5DC1239F931A15751C0A963948260 Hope this helps WittymWittym 22:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
