Another indiscriminate list. Also serves as a directory. I think this list is also as indescrimate as the other two breakfast articles that is up for deletion ie

Keep per
WP:LISTPURP, as evidenced in part by the 82,471 page views it has received in the last ninety days. Conversely, the main category page has only received 976 page views in the last ninety days. Deletion of the article would not serve Wikipedia's readers in any positive manner, and would only make information more difficult for readers to find.

Well then link to the category. I don't see why we need a list for it. Also, I think this is also as indescrimate as the other two breakfast articles that is up for deletion ie

Keep per the above !vote. This is an example of how a list article can provide information above and beyond the corresponding category. There is a pretty clear criterion for whether any given entry qualifies, so the list is not indiscriminate. Nor does the "directory" charge really amount to a reason for deletion (for example, this page doesn't provide pricing information).

Keep. As long as there are inclusion criteria to restrict the list to notable cereals, this is neither indiscriminate nor is it a directory. This is a perfectly good list article. --Michig (talk) 19:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's completely irrelevant. You're just wasting everyone's time. postdlf (talk) 21:00, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above,
WP:NOTDUP. This nominator's clearly on auto-pilot, and has demonstrated here and elsewhere at AFD recently that they do not understand applicable guidelines and policies, nor the specific content at hand. postdlf (talk) 19:50, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply

When I nominated it it just say list of cereal (nomination version). Therefore it fails

No. It means
the article can be fixed through normal editing. Pburka (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply

Keep. Unlike the more nebulous definitions of breakfast foods and drinks, cereals are well-defined and advertised/marketed (and therefore easily sourceable) as such, so not indiscriminate. I don't know if we really need all the articleless flavor variations, however. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:37, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. This is a list of a type of breakfast food. This food is for breakfast and gives readers a world view of cereals available. AmericanAir88 (talk) 21:17, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - although the article should keep to its inclusion criteria of notable breakfast cereals, pruning the list accordingly. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:12, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per Clarityfiend; these en-masse nominations (and pings) are beginning to be disruptive and I urge Tyw7 to stop making them.

The pings were copied from the other two articles. I thought it was a good way of informing participants of this related AFD. And en masse? I only nominated two articles today. And one over a few week ago (the breakfast drink one). Anyway if the pings annoys anyone, I'm sorry. --

Snow Keep—Inclusion criteria are much better defined than the other nominations. There is no reason to delete it.— Alpha3031 (talk | contribs) 13:11, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is wasting people's time. User:Tyw7, please wait until the results of existing breakfast related AFDs before nominating any more. SilkTork (talk) 17:24, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep clearly notable.
