Glenlivet Challenge

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod (see talk page). Drinking game. The Importance section pretty much gives the one reason why Wikipedia cannot have an article on this at least for the time being ("While the Glenlivet Challenge may not be notable to date...").

 * Delete. Can't imagine can ever be verified by anyone not taking part (and possibly not even then). --Cedderstk 16:16, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable  RT |  Talk  17:36, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable by articles own admission. The fact that it might one day be notable if this article is allowed to stay is not a reason to keep it.  Even if it were to stay the article is an orphan and will get minimal traffic.  There are also numerous other issues, including the whole article being far too informally written.

 * Delete No sources/references whatsoever. Article admitted that this is non-notable. When this becomes notable in the future, recreate article and of course with sources provided. Until then, delete. Jolenine  ( Talk  -  My Contribs ) 20:26, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Do Not Delete. I have actually heard of this and think it has been discussed and played in several comedy movies. After reading this article my friends and I played and it was actually quite competitive and enjoyable. Anyone recommending deletion should rethink their reasoning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MAtlien (talk • contribs) 21:49 12 October 2009 — MAtlien (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Do you have any reason for not deleting that's actually based on Wikipedia policies? Just because it's fun does not mean it's notable. Is there any documentation about the movies you claim it appeared in? If so, do the movies refer to it as the "Glenlivet Challenge"? Can you tell us, specifically, what movies you are talking about? --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 02:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Do Not Delete : Here is a reference from the Internet Movie Database. A quote from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. http://www.imdb.com/Find?select=Quotes&for=three%20fingers%20glenlivet —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmsst62 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why such haste as to automatically delete? The only arguement that anyone has made for deletion is the fact the author mentioned the words "may not be notable".  As per the deletion policy, an article can also be "edited" as opposed to strictly "deleted".      —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.186.18.193 (talk) 18:01, 14 October 2009 (UTC)  — 204.186.18.193 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * The linked quote actually makes no mention of this so-called "challenge", merely the fact that the character planned to drink a standard measure of the aforementioned brand of whiskey. So that doesn't prove its notability in any way -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete*** I think the author of this article may have underestimated the games noteriety.  This game is one I am personally familiar with and have played several times over the course of the past year.  I think based on the grounds of the games spreading popularity, the article should remain.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Doug E Fresh (talk • contribs) 17:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)  — Mr Doug E Fresh (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete, no notability per WP:RS, and violates WP:V as written. -- Kinu t /c  03:07, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - so, after reading the whole article, what this boils down is that this so-called "challenge" is in fact a coin toss and, erm, that's it. Obviously completely non-notable.  It's funny how people arguing to keep articles on made-up games always seem to claim that it has "growing popularity" or similar wording but singularly fail to prove it in any way......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:52, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
