Red Lotus
Non-notable cocktail, WP:NOT a recipe book. Part of an attempt to use Wikipedia to advertize Lichido. No references. Quale 05:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep I have edited that page and cited sources. I removed the advertisement of Lichido. This is a drink stub no different from Long Island Iced Tea or Screwdrivers. Valoem  talk  14:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Long Island Iced Tea and Screwdriver (cocktail) get articles because they are well-known, iconic drinks, and both articles duly discuss things like appearances in popular culture. However, this article is merely a recipe, and Wikipedia is not the place for those. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 11:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. Whispering 11:55, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No room here for every recipe, also not a famos cocktail as mentioned aboveJimbo68 13:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This recipe is perfectly legitimate, just as all the other recipes on the List of cocktails — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lichidogirl (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: If you feel that way your always welcome to prod those articles. Oh and please sign your comments. Whispering 21:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Remember that Red Lotus is a drink and so is a Screwdriver. It is hypocritical say that Red Lotus does not deserve to be on Wikipedia and Screwdriver does because Red Lotus is not as well known. Obscurity does not classify lack of notability, otherwise any article that is not well-known would not be on Wikipedia. A topic has notability if it is known outside a narrow interest group or constituency a Red Lotus is known outside of the interest group (which I presume to be people who drink Red Lotus) I for one have never drank a Red Lotus but has heard of the drink before.

 * Comment Per Articles for deletion/Precedents. Recipes belong in Wikibooks so we should move them over there. Whispering 23:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly transwikiing this to wikibooks first if it's believed wikibooks might want this. Notable cocktails such as Martini (cocktail) deserve an article here, mere recipes don't, per WP:NOT point 8. --Xyzzyplugh 12:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
