Club drug

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Topic is basically original research and synthesis with no reliable source attesting to this as notable phenomenon that needs to be discussed in a separate article. meco (talk) 14:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Original research unsupported by references. I suppose it could be redirected to Party pills but that article isn't much better. --MelanieN (talk) 04:26, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Notable subject, but the article is severely lacking. (Additional examples: news, medical literature.) "Party pills" refers to a different group of compounds, so it is an inappropriate merge target. Both could be merged to Recreational drug use.Novangelis (talk) 00:38, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. National Institute on Drug Abuse is definitely an authority here (see this). Biophys (talk) 05:49, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep as a pharmaceutical chemist and because the government has a website called http://www.clubdrugs.gov/. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:10, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - While the term is quite widely used, there is no real clinical definition. Article needs some work, but the concept itself passes GNG and the sniff test... I'm just unclear on how much this can reasonably be improved.  / /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 22:11, 12 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep per Richard Norton above. The US government considers "club drug" a useful term of categorization and thus establishes notability of the subject in Wikipedia terms: "Club drugs are being used by young adults at all-night dance parties such as "raves" or "trances," dance clubs, and bars. MDMA (Ecstasy), GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, methamphetamine, and LSD are some of the club or party drugs...." Carrite (talk) 00:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
