[edit] Blog (drink)

Wikipedia is not a drink recipe book · rodii · 23:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:ISNOT (a recipe book) and List of cocktails: "As a normal matter of course, only cocktails with a particularly significant history are assigned encyclopedia articles in Wikipedia. Recipes should be moved to Wikibooks." So transwiki to Wikibooks maybe, I dunno. This seems pretty non-notable to me, but it's hard to google properly. If deleted, delete dab page too. · rodii · 23:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I agree that the recipe has no place here. The prevalance of weblogs makes googling for this an impossibility, however, so I find myself unable to vote. I'm curious as to its so-called science fiction origins; if some historical background can be provided, I'd say it can stay. ~ Booyabazooka 23:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I found this reference, this reference, and this reference in regards to a drink served at science fiction conventions. Oh, and this one too. That said, I don't think the article really makes much of a case as far as why "blog" is important in regard to science fiction fandom. --Elkman - ^(talk) 23:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep: I'd like to petition for it not to be deleted. I think it is interesting to note that the term "blog" as used for a drink pre-dates the same word as used for a weblog by about 25 years. I'd be happy to remove the actual recipe and add more cultural background as per ISNOT if you guys feel that that makes it an appropriate article. Strait 00:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: I'm still skeptical, but cultural background instead of a recipe would be step in the right direction. I have to say though, I think the fact that "blog" predates blogging is interesting but not noteworthy, as it were. · rodii · 01:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Besides the whole encyclopedia/recipe book thing, this lacks importance. -- Krash (Talk) 01:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wiktionary. Assuming they want this kind of thing . . . ? Crypticfirefly 04:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
