Whinnegar

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

This article is about a non-notable cocktail. Google turns up nothing with this name other than Wikipedia mirrors. Nothing links here. No substantive edits since page creation 22 months ago. ike9898 (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Anyone can create a new drink out of two more notable ones. -- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  23:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Should've been speedily deleted in August 2007, when it was flagged but declined. Something dreamed up in a bar, but not notable. WP:MADEUP. Vinegar is good for hiccups, though. Fences and windows (talk) 01:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is, again, all part of a deletionist conspiracy that seeks to reduce Wikipedia to a copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica. What's next on the removal list for you people--Pokemon? wrestling? I think this is a great article, and if the drink it isn't notable yet, it ought to be. You know what, I'm going to make myself have hiccups and then fix me one of these. I'll be back. Drmies (talk) 04:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. That was disgusting. Not notable. Please delete. Drmies (talk) 05:04, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ha! ike9898 (talk) 18:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being disgusting does not imply non-notability (see 2 Girls 1 Cup). However, this unreferenced piece of nift is unencyclopedic and non-notable. Bongo  matic  09:17, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Bongo --do you realize that I had managed to completely forget that I ever read that article? It's going to take more than one whinnegar to get that idea out of my head. One more disgusting reference like that and I'm going to vote keep and write a book on the whinnegar and get it published by Harvard UP and then rewrite article and get it up to FA status. And it'll be all your fault. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 17:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm concerned about systemic bias. Should a Canadian be consulted? They are known to have a hankering for some rather odd foods... And also, are we sure that this drink's medical application as a cure for the hiccups isn't notable?  How do we check? Doc? ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:57, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That is a valid point. I have been concerned about some of that editor's comments on their talk page, but unfortunately could not find a talk page for the talk page to discuss those matters. Now, I am a doctor, but this, unfortunately, is not my specialty. Since I tried the drink I've had to brush my teeth a dozen times and I still have a funny taste in my mouth, so notability is out of the question, I'm afraid, this being a really strong case of WP:IDONTLIKEITANYMORE.
