AK squared

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The references in the article don't even mention this alcoholic drink, and I could find no references to it online. Prod was removed by the article's creator. First Light (talk) 16:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

The references refer to the ingredients of a mixed alcoholic drink, named AK squared. While the drink is not endorsed by these brands, the drink itself exists, and is gaining popularity in Canada. 13:18, 26 October 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anakolia (talk • contribs)

 * You must provide references to your drink, and not to the ingredients. The references must be mainstream reports that have been published in newspapers, books, etc., that mention "AK Squared". These are called Reliable Sources on Wikipedia. First Light (talk) 17:23, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

References used to refer to the ingredients of the mixed alcoholic drink, AK squared, have been removed in regards to the drink not officially being endorsed by the brands themselves. The mix drink however, is in rotation in the public sector and deserves a wikipedia mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anakolia (talk • contribs) 18:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unless reliable sources are found which demonstrate that this mix of ingredients under the name 'AK Squared' exists and is notable, the article fails our WP:GNG. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 18:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I have seen this drink both ordered and served at various bars in Toronto, Canada. Though it has not been published, as with the 'Jager-bomb' originally, it's popularity is gaining ground through word of mouth and by being offered as a special at bars around Toronto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alduko (talk • contribs) 19:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete no significant coverage in third-party reliable sources, or any coverage at all for that matter. Mere existence, even if this was verifiable, does not indicate that the subject is notable enough for an article. Hut 8.5 21:52, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see any mentions of a drink called "AK squared" anywhere.Curb Chain (talk) 03:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
