42 BELOW

Note: This is a relisting of a previously kept article, but the previous vote seems to be lost in the acres of vfd history.

Delete as pure advertising. FreplySpang (talk) 15:11, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Clearly an encyclopedic topic - if the article is not neutral it should be edited not deleted. Keep. Pcb21| Pete 19:59, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Not sure about it being an encyclopaedic topic, but not quite pure advertising in its current form. Weak keep. Chris talk back 21:16, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, advert. Megan1967 06:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Tell me which sentences you guys are finding non-NPOV, and I will fix them, rather than have you delete the whole article. Pcb21| Pete 12:59, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge with List of Vodka brands. R adiant _* 14:16, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, it's the #1 google hit [1] for vodka "new zealand", obviously notable in the crowded field of New Zealand vodkas. Kappa 00:53, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
keep this please - vodka brands are interesting enough Yuckfoo 06:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep - it's not significantly different from any of the other pages on vodka
Keep - If this is deleted then so should be Pepsi, Nike etc etc etc .... it's a (very good) brand :)
Merge with South Gin to form Pacific Dawn Distillers. Individual brands are rarely noteable (I have spent ages reducing Category:Brands of beer by merging stubs into brewery articles where they belong, but companies who produce things have more permanence, and this is would make a small article about a distiller using local ingredients to make a NZ distilled product range.

brands. StuTheSheep 06:48, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

Merge - Note that the awards section needs to be fact checked. The Beverage Testing Institute web page does not list 42 BELOW as winning any awards in 2004 and it earned a tasting score below other vodkas Beverage Testing Institute Results. Also, I cannot find any info on the web pertaining to San Francisco Beverage / Spirits awards except for the mention on the42 BELOW manufacturer website. Tobycat 05:20, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Also remember that 42 Below is a company; an NZX listed public company. They own the brands 42 Below and South gin.
