[edit] Carbomb (cocktail)

Non-notable cocktail. Entirely unreferenced except for a recipe (and WP:NOT a recipe book), it is full of opinion and OR. The article is not improving with time. Quale 19:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• delete per nom. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 19:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• keep: what's a "notable" cocktail? I've ordered them. The bartenders knew what they were. How much more notability does a cocktail need? -Acjelen 19:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• If we can establish verifiability that it's not just a local drink, then keep but otherwise transwiki to wikibooks and delete the rest. ColourBurst 20:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Its a popular drink for sure - but that doesn't change the fact that Wikipedia is NOT a recipe or how to site. Once the recipe is removed, this is just an article about a trendy but ultimately non particularly notable drink. Delete - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 03:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I don't know what "local" is to the original editor, but I have friends in Southern California for whom this is their drink of choice. I don't drink them myself, because I don't drink stout. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep.I've heard of it, it may still not be encyclopedic though.-Kmaguir1 22:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've heard of it, and I don't drink. Seems to be a widely-available drink and should merit a mention. I imagine a good editor could turn the recipe section into more encyclopedic prose. Zagalejo 14:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a commonly ordered drink in bars, and I have had quite a few. BadBrad7431

delete: it's in such bad taste. it's like having a cocktail consisting of two sambucas which one sets alight and then knocking over, and calling it the twin towers

• keep, pretty widely known. Stilgar135 16:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC) user:svkumar21 Keep, it's known throughout.
• weak Keep I've not heard of it, but it seems enough other people have to say it's noteworthy - Blood red sandman 15:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, judging from the comments above it seems notable enough. bbx 08:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I had 4 last night ... and the bar had them on special... quite clearly a popular (and therefore notable) mixed drink... if it must leave wiki... move it to Wikibooks (cookbook or bartenders guide).  ALKIVAR™ 18:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There's plenty of other cocktails that are no more notable than this one, in Wikipedia. A short representative recipe (as opposed to a laundry list of recipes and variants) should be valid if it helps the reader understand what the cocktail is. Yes, the article needs citing and cleaning up, so what, that can be said of plenty of articles. Tubezone 21:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
