Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/16 hour workday


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was : Snowball delete. Wikipedia is not a place to write about things you or your friends have invented. (Being a deletionist, I am of the opinion that the article falls under the speedy deletion criterion A7 - no claim of notability, as an article about a drink you have invented is essentially an article about you.)

16 hour workday

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is about a non-notable drink created by college students; no verifiable sources could be found. – Dream out loud (talk) 06:10, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It is of course your call. There are no references because it was in fact just invented.  However, a number of mixed drinks listed on Wikipedia are no more well known, and it will not become any more popular unless others can learn about it.  I was under the impression that was what Wikipedia was about, spreading knowledge. --Qmajeski (talk) 06:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Wikipedia is about spreading knowledge, knowledge that had been collected, tried and proven and is supposed to be preserved. Spreading knowledge about new, recently invented things to make them popular is sometimes called advertising. --Ouro (blah blah) 08:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete (G11) — There was something the Democrat Youth from the University of Colorado at Boulder made out of this — and that is SPAM. MuZemike  ( talk ) 08:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - I'm itching to speedily delete this, but it doesn't satisfy any of the criteria in my view. This is something made up in school one day. - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
