Stan Jacobsen

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unremarkable, possibly fictitious, drink. Sole reference is a website that is open for editing (but still does not list this drink). Disputed prod. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The following is my defense for the article, which I have also included on the talk page for Stan Jacobsen:
 * In response to Delicious carbuncle's proposed deletion for Stan Jacobsen, I have removed the WP:PROD template for a number of reasons. Listed among reasons for its deletion was "Reference has no listing by that name (and appears open to editing)".  It is important to note that many of the cocktail articles on Wikipedia source DrinkSwap.com as their only source.  The website does allow anonymous users to add their own drink receipes, and as such, there are bound to be many entries which do not exist outside a submitter's group of friends.  If the article for Stan Jacobsen is to be deleted on grounds that it sources only DrinkSwap.com, then I would motion that all cocktail articles on Wikipedia with only that website as their reference be deleted for the same reason.  I have contacted DrinkSwap.com and have learned that the Stan Jacobsen is not yet listed on the website, but is in the reviewing process, which can take days or weeks to complete.  While not yet listed, the Stan Jacobsen has been served in Northwestern Ontario pubs and restaurants as a variation on the Tom Collins for well over 20 years.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swamilive (talk • contribs) 22:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * See WP:OSE. Then see WP:NOTE, and WP:RS. You may wish to read WP:AFD as well. Regards. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as I am unable to locate any sources what-so-ever. Nothing in Google News or Google Scholar. Google Web hits are either irrelevant or Wikipedia mirrors. Encyclopedia articles require reliable, verifiable sourcing, and the source in the article can be editind by anyone. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  22:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
