Mixed drinks in BattleTech
Most real cocktails are excluded on the basis that Wikipedia isn't a cookbook. I don't see why fictional cocktails should be treated any differently. Brian G. Crawford 23:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. The cited books are the only thing making me suggest that some small mention (not the recipes themselves) of the topic should appear in a higher-level BattleTech article.  The "What links here" page shows no BT articles link there, but I haven't checked whether some BT article already has such a sentence.  If not, merge to preserve the edit history of the book links.

 * Merge into List of fictional mixed drinks. And by the way, yuck.  Straight grain alcohol?  A drink made of almost half lemon juice?  I don't think these were really intended to be made in real life. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  00:25, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. Well, there is a list of fictional ones. Tyrenius 01:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * These drinks are already listed there! Brian G. Crawford 02:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: They're listed in List of fictional mixed drinks, which is currently up for deletion. I don't really think that they're notable enough, fictional or non-fictional, to have articles. It's not like it's a Bloody Mary. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 05:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeew, I hope nobody actually makes these. Concerns of good taste aside, this is pretty much random BT trivia, and while I love me some giant robots, I can live without random snippets from novels of any sort. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge Seems wrong to throw out content that is useful when there is an article that exists and where it would fit in nicely.  Brokenfrog 00:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
