[edit] Swedish cocktail

Delete. I've changed outlook on Wikipedia since I added it, and even if it's most likely true, it's still excecution trivia. Perhaps it could be mentioned in Thirty Years' War, but I don't really don't see how, since trivia isn't supposed to be included. Peter ^Isotalo 23:20, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep: This article is notable and is appropriate for a torture stub. Most articles under that category are similar to this article in terms of size and notability anyway. Solarusdude 01:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• How is it notable? It's a very minor detail of a very big war that's been mentioned once by one author as far as I can tell. Please note that verifiability (a somewhat weak one in this case) isn't the same thing as notability. Most things can be proven to have occured or existed, but that doesn't make them notable. That we have articles on equally obscure topics doesn't prove anything except that we've haven't deleted them yet. / Peter ^Isotalo 09:13, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with a page on torture methods. Fred-Chess, 13:21, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
