Prod removed without explanation. Previous afd 12 years ago ended with delete, then recreated. No evidence of notability; Wikipedia is not a recipe book. Reywas92Talk 19:13, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * To be clear, the previous AfD ended with author requested speedy deletion because they transwikied the article to Wikibooks. The notability of the subject has never been tested at AfD. SpinningSpark 20:55, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - Notable drink. GigglesnortHotel (talk) 19:48, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - A quick check indicates a significant amount on the drink, I would certainly consider Notable. Certainly equivalent to several within this list, if we are considering hot drinks. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:18, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * A better question is deciding whether the article belongs as a subset of the Hot Toddy article, which does note that rum can be the base ingredient. As it is written in the two articles, that would make the hot buttered rum just a variant. However that just seems the base of a rather wide mix of separations over that American Food Roots Cocktails has a fairly common separation that actually rum isn't a hot toddy liquor - and so that is where the difference lies. If there is a reasonable consensus within the Hot Toddy article that rum counts, then this wouldn't seem sufficient separation - Airship, along with an array of others, feel the greater separation is the wider array of what goes in, like using ice cream or coconut milk as the butter/sweetener. An unhelpful splurge of a question I apologise - it isn't enough as is to change my mind - but if someone better up can clarify? Nosebagbear (talk) 20:40, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep and undelete the previously deleted article. perhaps not the most notable subject we have on Wikipedia, but there is enough out there for at least a short article.  This book, for instance, traces its history back many centuries. It also has a national day in the US  and seems to be a traditional holiday drink in the South.

 * Keep - more than enough coverage to pass WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:52, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
