[edit] Romulan Ale (cocktail)

Disgusting, already transwikied. No assertion of notability aside from having the same name as a fictional drink. Anyone using this much blue curacao in one drink should have his drinking privileges revoked. Brian G. Crawford 03:16, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Obvious reasons (recipe). What is with the sudden burst of these? -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I've been working on mixed drink articles. Brian G. Crawford 03:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, personal variant on a fictional beverage. Not notable under another name, not relevant under this one. Possibly toxic. Lord Bob 03:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Recipe for a nn drink, and incidentally totally disgusting. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Recipe, and totally dishonorable for the Empire. Hornplease 06:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Kimchi.sg 07:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect to Romulan Ale (no merge). Wikipedia is not a cookbook, and this cocktail doesn't taste like real Romulan Ale anyway. JIP | Talk 09:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment By looking at the article's edit history, User:Brian G. Crawford seems to have reverted the article from an innocuous redirect to a previous version of the article over a month old just so he could AFD it. I'm sure this isn't meant to be a WP:POINT, but .... what is meant to be the point? AnonEMouse 16:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
    • What exactly is the point there? The only possible reason I can see for reverting the redirect to its previous content and nominating it for AFD is to purge the edit history of this objectionable article, which seems a bit draconian. --Saforrest 02:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Uhh... reverting does not purge edit histories. Fagstein 20:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn drink. --Terence Ong 16:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete While i definitely disagree with the "nn drink" comments (anyone who watched Star Trek knows of romulan ale), this page is redundant. A section could be added to Romulan Ale for a recepie if there happens to be a verifiable version. DanielZimmerman 22:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fagstein 20:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Pretty common at parties around here. The more lethal everclear/blue food coloring version is also popular. I think it's notable. Looks likely to get deleted anyway, but I disagree. Have a nice day! Georgewilliamherbert 21:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
