[edit] B-52 (cocktail)

Non-notable cocktail, WP:NOT a recipe book, no references. Prod removed by an anon. Even if a reliable source could be provided for its recipe, a recipe alone isn't encyclopedic. Quale 09:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. However, this is a real cocktail so it merits being a redirect the main Cocktail page as B-52 cocktail without the parenthesis and maybe a mention on List of cocktails but it really is a minor variety. No prejudice for later recreation for a non-recipe article with some history and sources. 205.157.110.11 09:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to the Wikibooks Cookbook. A cursory Google search provided ample reliable sources for the recipe. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Actually I think this cocktail is notable (at least where I come from). Google returns several reliable sources for its recipe. I don't see any real reason for deletion just because a majority doesn't know it. Sloan21 01:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not a cookbook. No evidence of notability. Mukadderat 00:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• keep please it is a notable cocktail 234,000 googl hits [1] source is the classic 1000 cocktail recipes by robert cross Yuckfoo 07:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment that the cocktail is found in a recipe book is a poor argument for keeping the article, and the fact that the recipe book contains 1000 recipes makes it even worse. That's an argument for adding 1000 or more cocktail recipes to wikipedia, and I think that's simply a bad idea. Wikipedia in general has rejected the idea that every recipe deserves an article.

• Keep, this cocktail was/is very popular in Scandinavia. I could imagine myself looking it up on Wikipedia. So lets keep it. bbx 06:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to the wikibooks bartending guide.  ALKIVAR™ 18:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
