Sangria (color)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is just a dictionary definition of a non-notable shade of red. bobrayner (talk) 17:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Since this color has been in use since 1382, it is notable and should definitely be kept in Wikipedia. Keraunos (talk) 00:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That is not true. The 1382 usage was of "sanguine". According to the OED, "sangria" appeared in 1961. If the only basis for the article is a falsehood, that's another reason to delete it. bobrayner (talk) 09:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete – unsourced; the source Keraunos mentions above is for sanguine, and that's not much. Dicklyon (talk) 06:12, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. (The word has not existed since 1382, but even if it had, that would not make it notable. There are thousands of English words recorded much earlier than that, but we don't have articles on all of them: Wikipedia is not a dictionary.) JamesBWatson (talk) 12:56, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete this and all the other nominated colors. Manufacturers commonly invent names for the colors of their paints or dyes or crayons, and that is all they are: a manufacturer's invented name. That does not make them notable. --MelanieN (talk) 17:18, 17 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Just an article that describes one of the countless not-notable colors. There are countless plausible names for any particular color- this one is just an example of them. It's just not notable. I can't imagine this article being expanded from a one-line dictionary definition into a full article.--Slon02 (talk) 17:23, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
