So after AFD decided to keep this list (and numerous similar ones) it was moved to a new title, the references were removed (or exiled to see also) and the list was then deleted as unreferenced. The same tired old policy links were given in the edit summary that failed to convince the AFD. Laughably, the first link, WP:LISTCOMPANY, explicitly states that companies do not necessarily need to meet the notability requirement to be included on a list. I am restoring the page. If you want it gone, take it back to AFD. This deletion by the back door is just not on. SpinningSpark17:26, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What part of NOTDIRECTORY exactly do you think applies here? None of it rules out such a list. It has been established at AFD that these lists are short enough that WP:CSC applies and they can be comprehensive. I don't think the sources are so bad for this kind of article, but in any case, poor sourcing by itself is not grounds for deletion. SpinningSpark18:00, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The deletion policy does not say that a lack of reliable sources in the article is grounds for deletion, it says "[a]rticles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" are grounds for deletion. That is not the same thing. So what are we looking for from a source in this article? Essentially, only that the brewery exists (or exists in Nebraska). The first reference is to the Brewery Collectibles Club of America. This is a long established organisation and the site does not appear to be a personal site or a blog. If anybody has reliable information on what Breweries exist in Nebraska then I would have thought that an organisation specialising in brewery collectibles would have it. I would also point out that the editor who originally created this article referenced every entry to the home page of the brewery. Surely a brewery is a reliable source for its own existence? But someone (ahem) deleted them all as spam. So what references would you find acceptable? A quick gbooks search shows that book sources could be found for most, if not all, the entries with at least a passing mention, but I don't see the point of going to that effort when we already have sources listing them all in one place.

By the way, the copy-paste is not a violation of anything. Copy paste is acceptable if the attribution is taken care of by pointing to it in an edit summary. To preserve the history it would be necessary to undo the move of the original article altogether, which I assume you do not want to happen. SpinningSpark22:18, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
