Beer Mile[edit]

I'm as much a fan of beer as the next guy (perhaps moreso, considering the 20 or so different brands I sampled this past weekend) but puerile college antics such as this don't strike me as encyclopedic, nor of wide interest. Al 21:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. In addition, the article seems to exist solely as an adjunct to the external URL listed on the page.Extreme Unction 22:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep because its no different from the pages for Sink the Titanic, Edward Forty-Hands, or FizzBuzz and add a link from Drinking games --CastAStone 23:01, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep much as I hate it, and add link from Drinking games per CastAStone - and add a Cleanup tag, the darn thing does look like an advert for one website, but check out Inaugural Encinitas Beer Mile Rife With Rules Infractions as well as the barmeister rules and there are entries from daily.Stanford.edu and andrew.cmu.edu/ as well as others on a google search. Its a real college phenomenon. KillerChihuahua 00:20, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• keep, I was about to vote delete but the Chihuahua has found some evidence for third-party coverage. Kappa 00:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• It's keepable now, with third-party coverage. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Wikipedia is not a repository for drinking games. The only reasons I can think of to include a drinking game are if numerous people have died doing it or it is mentioned frequently in the media and/or TV/movies. Those links only show that it exists, not that it's notable. -- Kjkolb 15:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The beer mile is the toughest and most competitive sport in the world of digestive athletics. -- Ardeshna
