This article is basically a list of 'non-alcoholic' drinks. Not only this, I assume that there are many more alcoholic drinks than non-alcoholic ones. I suggest that it be redirected to soft drink or some other article. Cocoaguy ここがいい 16:43, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - What is the rational for deletion here? Your suggestion on a redirect is actually a sub-set of the Non-alcoholic beverage. This page is like a sophosticated disambiguation page with additional explanation and references on what it entails. I thought the page was well layed out.

• keep Not all non alcoholic beverages are soft drinks other than that I see no valid reason for deletion Seasider91 (talk) 17:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep: We need crappy, useless pages like this. What are you trying to have here - useful, encyclopedic pages or something? Toddst1 (talk) 17:36, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: as per Cocoaguy. I assume that there are many more alcoholic drinks than non-alcoholic ones. Now that can not be justification for deletion, can it. Samar (Talk . Contributions) 17:41, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: There is an "alcoholic beverages" article -- why wouldn't there be a corresponding "non-alcoholic beverages", especially given that this is of reasonable quality? Mynameisntbob1 (talk) 23:22, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: This will help people to identify different ways of thinking about drinks, and could have use in increasing readers' knowledge of different beverages. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many apologies that my last edit appeared to have a line through it - I did not mean this, so please let it stand! Thank you, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 10:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
