[edit] Lynchburg lemonade

Wikipedia is not a recipe book. Kimchi.sg 15:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. 34,000 Google hits. Perhaps the article needs to be cleaned up, but that's no reason to delete. SliceNYC 16:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Naming the ingredients does not constitute a "recipe". With some foods or beverages, especially alcoholic drinks, it is vital to say what is in the drink. SliceNYC 16:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Per SliceNYC. --WillMak050389 16:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not particularly well-known cocktail Lurker ^oi! 16:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: For what its worth, the recipe is listed on the official JD website. --Kinu ^t/_c 16:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep seems well-known. The recipe doesn't hurt the article. DJ Clayworth 16:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Notable enough that every time I've ordered it in a bar, the bartender has known how to make it. Popular enough that Jack Daniels started making a bottled version a few years back. Geoffrey Spear 16:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete here, transwiki to books if they want it. 690 unique hits [1], most of them recipe sites. Unless someone can find multiple non-trivial works about this cocktail...? I doubt it very strongly. - [[User:Crzrussian|CrazyRussian] talk/email 17:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, though it needs to cite its sources and explain the origins and history of the drink. Rohirok 19:19, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. wikipediatrix 19:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, seems reasonably well known and verifiable. Ned Wilbury 20:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Dev920 21:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As stated above, this is not a very notable drink. 34,000 google hits is very small as compared to the 38-million hits you get for "martini" or other, much more well-known and socially important cocktails. Unless some kind of reference can made to the article in how it is important or otherwise unique from the 15,000 other cocktails in existence, it should be removed. Wikipedia is not a bartender's handbook. will381796 22:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep—This can actually be bought at grocery stores I think. Ardric47 23:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand or, at worst, merge to Jack Daniels. Clearly it can't just list the ingredients, but it has the beginnings of the history, which from what I understand is both gnarled and extensive. [2] [3]Jacqui^★ 04:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, this is a well-known drink with a history and while the article needs more information, it needs a rewrite, not a delete. Sertrel 18:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The subject is sufficiently verifiable such that we should be able to expand on this subject. RFerreira 21:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
