Screaming Viking

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No idea whether or not this is notable. Maybe so-- a drink from Cheers with a multitude of G hits. I de-speedied, cleaned it up, and added a citable recipe. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  23:54, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with ??? I had speedy'ed the article to start with, then it was cleaned up but is just short. I have no idea where it belongs, but I think it may belong somewhere, I just don't know where.  I am not convinced that the "somewhere" is an article of its own, however. Pharmboy 00:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There are about 90 other Mixed drink stubs. Hopefully, we can find some verifiable sources. . . . Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  00:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * change to keep and cleanup If there are that many cocktail stubs, then maybe we just need to reorganize them a bit. I looked and found more than enough categories (wow..) for cocktails and such.  While recipes for cocktails is a bit outside normal encyclopedias, Wikipedia is Not A Paper Encyclopedia, and I guess that is ok.  Hope this isn't a Pandoras box.  Sounds like Dlohcierekim just volunteered. ;) Pharmboy 01:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Actually WP:NOT specifically says "Wikipedia articles should not include … recipes." I don't have a problem with articles that include encyclopedic information about mixed drinks, but the ones that consist primarily of instructions for making them seem to me candidates for prod or AfD. I think I've prodded one or two myself. Deor 02:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply True, but we've a category for mixed drinks. It's just a stub now. Perhpas encyclopedic information could be added. Whether or not it's enough of a "pop culture" icon for an artilce could be something we discuss here. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  17:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * comment In this case, the reference to pop culture via Cheers would be enough to keep it. Policy in this case isn't perfectly clear (to me, anyway), so I have to default to keep under "wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia.  Pharmboy 18:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Question The original speedier has changed to keep and I just brought it here because I did not know for sure one way or another (and !voted keep). Should we speedy keep or let it run? Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  17:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't speedy keep because there are legit reasons to object and this isn't a case of a mistaken AFD as much as I just changed my mind after award winning persuation ;) I hate to speedy keep unless there is 100% agreement, excepting the AFD nominator.  We aren't quite there.  Pharmboy 18:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Let it ride. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  20:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
