Rivets (Iron Brew) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Rivets (Iron Brew). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Padgriffin ^{Griffin's Nest} 14:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added another newspaper story. The problem is that there is no generic Iron Brew article, just a list of two articles (the brand Irn Bru and an unrelated South African drink). Yet there have been a large number of generic Iron Brews available over the years as well as a few brand name competitors. Wikipedia should at least note their existence somewhere. If this article is not notable enough perhaps adding entries to the Iron Brew generic page for Rivets and Highland brew with references to newspaper articles about them or a section in the Irn Bru article about generic/copycat products.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rivets (Iron Brew) (March 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

Yes, this was created as a competitor to Irn-Bru, but doesn't have independent notability since the 1994 articles. May be more suited for Meri-Mate or the larger companies / brands.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Irn-Bru. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Rivets (Iron Brew) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Thanks, I've merged this into a new section on the Irn Bru article listing one other branded competitor and three own-brand supermarket competitors Irn-Bru#Competitor and generic Iron Brews Rotatingastrothing (talk) 18:03, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
