The article is about the drink Blackjack and it is as relevant as any other drink article that appears on wikipedia. To immediately dismiss it saying that it is about a person is just not true. While the history section is hard to verify it is also hard to argue as not being the origination. I feel that the article should stay up even if it means editing or even deleting the History section. Artgod33 (talk) 20:00, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, reluctantly While I heartily approve of how some things made up by a couple guys can become legend, until this cocktail makes it past the Spring Break crowd and I can order one by name in a bar in Winnipeg, it's not notable. -- BlueSquadron Raven  20:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not for drinks made up one day. JohnCD (talk) 21:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment When alcoholic drinks are nominated at AfD, I believe one of the required steps would be for a group of volunteers to test the recipe before the discussion is closed. I'll admit that if they reported that they need more time for research, I'd be inclined to vote keep. -- llywrch (talk) 19:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
