[edit] No more drinking game
This is the second time in a week that I've removed details of an eponymous drinking game from this article. In fact, the drinking game had its very own article, but it was nominated for deletion and received a unanimous delete vote - the stand-alone article is now gone, and this article should have no mention of the drinking game.
Frat boys, if you must, just put a sentence about it in the drinking games article. That's the only place it conceivably belongs, and even then only with a cite.
Look here for the results of the delete vote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Roxanne_%28drinking_game%29_%282nd_nomination%29 BlackberryLaw 17:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah here now, please please tell me how a line in an artic monkeys song or the fact it was in the office is significant but not a game played by millions the world over?? I'm fascinated, this isn't some site to shoot down genuine aspects of life for people just because they're school-going, just because you feel it is below you(which you must by using frat boys) doesn't mean it shouldn't be included.One line can hardly hurt.plokt 21:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I completely agree with the guy above this is a real drinking game and it is a reference to Roxanne therefore it needs to be in the article.Parralax 23:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
The reason for the deletion of the Roxanne (drinking game) article was due to the lack of notability and because, from what I've read here at Blackberrylaw's link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Roxanne_%28drinking_game%29_%282nd_nomination%29) it was wrongly described, in that it was stated a whole drink was consumed on the indicated lyrics and not just a sip. The addition of the drinking game information to this article is very much like that included on Withnail and I#Drinking game which is not at all questioned. I see no reason not to to include a small section within this article. Ej159 (talk) 13:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I think that this article and Roxanne (drinking game) should be merged, as the latter doesn't warrant it's own article, and if it was reworded it could fit into this one nicely. Master of Puppets Giant Enemy Crab! 20:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moulin Rouge
Is there anyone who knows El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.127.72.124 (talk) 00:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Roxannesingle.jpg
Image:Roxannesingle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
