- Delete - the article fails to mention the source of the information it contains.Patto1ro 12:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Note:This article was prod'ed and prod2'd. Both tags were removed and this AfD was listed, although the tag wasn't added to the article. I've done that now. Note, however, that "BJCP" redirects to "Beer Judge Certification Program", which explains the slightly odd syntax of the AfD tag at the article. I've assumed that the nominator intended to nominate the article and not the redirect. No opinion on the AfD itself, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable. As far as I can tell, the only body set up to standardize judging at brewing contests. Several of the larger beer brewing software applications use BJCP style guidelines. Competition program is shared with theAmerican Homebrewers Association, who also "enthusiastically support" them. Some news and other references: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. Further, check out the site for virtually ANY brewfest or brewers' guild in the U.S. and you'll find most competitions judged by BJCP-certified beer judges and many members touting their certification. —Wrathchild (talk) 16:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Highly notable. AFD nomination is part of a crusade by two editors to re-write all of the beer articles in order to bring them in line with a website which is run by one of the editors (note url). In edit summaries, they call BJCP beer style standards "fictitious". Another relevant conversation. I actually support having correctly sourced style guidelines from multiple sources. But I do not support the deletion of guidelines and articles because two editors disagree with them. — goethean ॐ 16:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Can we argue this with facts rather than personal attacks. I've actually given up trying to correct the many errors I find in the beer articles because of this kind of response. Just check my recent contributions: most have just removed vandalism or added references. As I said before, I have more constructive things to do with my time than get involved in petty arguments like this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Patto1ro (talk • contribs) .
