List feels very "cruft" / indiscriminate collection of information, and I feel notable information (ie. notable flavor variations) could best be represented in the main Mountain Dew article.

Speedy Keep The nomination feels like
WP:CRUFTCRUFT and doesn't seem to be proposing deletion.

Merge into main Mountain Dew article (and trim the fat).

Merge to Mountain Dew article. There is no reason for a seperate list article.

John is very active in AfD, so I wouldn't take that as anything suspicious myself -- I'd assume it's just a matter of having several tabs open at once.

Keep. Reasonably well-sourced list article. The list was
split off from
Mountain Dew, and I don't think it serves a good purpose for the ready to try and merge part or the whole back into the main article. SamSailor 16:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)reply
Trim & Merge to the main
Mountain Dew article. Only the varieties that are actually notable in some way (i.e., actually are sourced to reliable, secondary sources) should actually be included here. Many, many of these variants have no sources describing them, and many of them are simply not notable enough to include (for example, variants that were test-marketed but never fully released, variants that were non-winning entrants in contests, etc.). When the vast amounts of non-sourced, non-notable information is trimmed out, the remainder describing the notable variants would be best integrated to the main article on the product, rather than being split into a separate list.

Keep Wouldn't fit in the main article, so a split off article is justified.

Keep, but get rid of the unsourced content, and give priority to the more notable flavours.

Keep This is very informative for all the fans and Mountain Dew history buffs. — Preceding

Keep per
WP:NLIST. There is coverage of "Mountain Dew flavors" as a set, and there are some decent references for individual items. "Feels very cruft" is not a good deletion rationale. —
