List of cocktail personalities

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Vaguely defined list page of people somehow related to cocktails. Delete or merge with cocktail - Jvhertum 12:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --MaNeMeBasat 13:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a wholly trivial, grossly incomplete and totally non-encyclopedic list, without any indication of the parameters used in the selection of its members.--Anthony.bradbury 17:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Sorry, still fails notability as an article subject. Lists for their own sake are generally not encouraged at wikipedia. There has to be d**n good reason for starting one in my opinion Madmedea 17:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * MOVE - This list should have been developed in WikiProject Food and drink/Beverages Task Force/work area, which is an incubation area for new articles undergoing development by members of the WikiProject. The article is obviously not ready for "prime time" in its current state, but it is actually a series of articles we are developing in a cross-wiki project involving the WikiBooks Bartending Guide, the Beverages Task Force and the Bartending WikiProject Task Force. Obviously at this point, the list in incomplete, though I would argue that it is in no way an indiscriminate collection of information. It is the start of a list of highly notable persons related to barending, mixology, and the history (both recent and distant) of cocktails. Since there are over 200 articles concerning cocktails alone at Wikipedia and an entire WikiBook dedicated to bartending, it is difficult to fathom how these individuals who helped bring all that about are not notable. The list needs work, obviously, so please just move it to WikiProject Mixed Drinks/Work Area/List of cocktail personalities so that Phil may continue his work, and we do so without losing the edit history that is in place (per GFDL license requirements). Thank you. --  Will  scrlt ( Talk ) 00:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
