Disputed WP:PROD. There are almost no notable entries in this list. Wikipedia is not a directory. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:23, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - But add references from reliable sources other than the company's website. With a little work references can be found; those with no references can be removed, the remaining should notable enough to leave (with a red-link for the eventual creation of individual articles). -- Zyxw (talk)

Comment: Also see the related AFD discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of breweries in Connecticut (which also includes AFDs for Idaho, Iowa, New Mexico, and Tennessee), plus the individual state AFDs listed below. -- Zyxw (talk) 05:43, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:CSC, lists may contain nonnotable entries; in fact - they may be set up to contain nothing but non-notable entries. These lists are valid for navigation. More reliable sources can be sought, merely place the correct "citation needed" tags on the page and one of the citation finders will pop over and fix it. I updated parts of several of these lists including List of breweries in California. It was not hard and I learned that beer brewing is one of the largest non-durable industries in the U.S. and growing at a rate of up to 20% per year. Therefore I think the entire topic is relevant. I have worked on many lists in Wiki before and never encountered this sort of situation because WP:CSC does not demand citations on each line and states that a list may contain non-notable entries.

Speedy keep. This is a sub-article of List of breweries in the United States. If we wish it deleted it is that article that should be nominated with a centralised discussion. Having 50 separate discussions is hopeless and risks contradictory decisions. Lists with non-notable entries are permitted per WP:CSC. Spinning Spark 19:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
