Doctor K (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The scredriver was not very notable either at one point in time. What makes you think that this drink will not be notable. Have you ever tasted one? Jim Kay 74.160.73.114 (talk) 02:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by JimKay3495 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

"Will be notable" is not the same thing as "is notable". Please read WP:N and WP:RS. Corvus cornix_talk 00:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

And more information at WP:NFT. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 00:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - unable to find any evidence of notability, or sources - reliable or not. The article Doctor K,, which is almost identical to this, should also be deleted. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 00:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a recipe book. WWGB (talk) 00:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

This is simply the first entry for an item. It is built upon from there. Others will find the reference and add more details about the history and origin. 74.160.73.114 (talk) 02:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It is not the responsibility of "others" to prove notability, it's the responsibility of the original editor. This discussion will last five days. If valid reliable sources are provided by then, then great. Corvus cornix_talk 05:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. I've redirected the mis-spelt copy of this same article to the one page, for clarity. Jammy Simpson | Talk | 01:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• delete - doesn't seem to be notable outside of the asserted mention in a recipe book. If mention in a recipe book is sufficient, Wikipedia would also have to have an article on Edna Staebler's Butternut Squash Brownies. That would seem contrary to the mission of Wikipedia. I'd prefer to see a third-party assertion that this drink is notable. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 17:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete A recipe in a bartender's guide or the like establishes that the drink exists and isn't something the editor just made up one day, but it's not sufficient to establish notability. Is there an article from a reliable secondary source about this drink specifically? If there were, it might be worth keeping, but I'm not aware of any such article.

• Transwiki A good encyclopaedia article would need more information than a simple recipie. However, this would be well suited for Wikibooks http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Bartending/Cocktails. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 11:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
