Queen Mary (cocktail)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I couldn't find any sources that supported this cocktail being a real thing. Sources on the page were either dead or didn't mention the cocktail at all. I would strongly recommend deleting this article. 60clawsand20paws (talk) 15:47, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: Googling this, I discovered other cocktails also called the "Queen Mary". However, the reference already provided in the article ("Off-Premise Catering Management") seems definitive. I'd like to see a second (definitive - there are plenty of non-definitive ones on mixologists' blogs etc.) reference, but if such a reference can be provided this is surely an easy "keep".

 * correct the article I find sources for a Queen Mary cocktail. It just isn't a cocktail described here. I prefer that we correct this article. —¿philoserf? (talk) 07:29, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * keep A quick search of “Queen mary beer grenadine” on multiple search engines results in multiple hits. Both the 2013 book, “Off-Premise Catering Management”, and the 2020 recipe article by the Distillerie Louis Morand, are credible sources that specifically refer to the “Queen Mary” beer-grenadine cocktail. I also added a “Wayback Machine” archived link for a dead link in the references. This should be a “keep”. Gillespk (talk) 1:40, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * separate given that sources have been found to support two cocktails with the same name, should a second page be created that describes the gin cocktail as well? 60clawsand20paws (talk) 13:38, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment why not just change the name to “Queen Mary (beer cocktail)”, in order to avoid any confusion with the other cocktail.Gillespk (talk) 19:36, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Gillespk I think that makes a lot of sense. Do you know how to do that? 60clawsand20paws (talk) 14:19, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 60clawsand20paws done! You can change the name of an article by using the Move function. It has it’s own tab at the top.Gillespk (talk) 14:46, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
