[edit] Skittles vodka

Skittles vodka (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article reads like a "How to" (see: WP:NOT#INFO), and notable, encyclopedic information is already included in the Skittles article, making the existence of this article redundant. Only two mainspace articles link to this page: Skittles (confectionery) and Flavored liquor. LaMenta3 02:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as redundant, per nomination. --Dennisthe2 02:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• If someone could come up with a source about Skittles Vodka (a fact-checked article describing the drink, not just a website how-to-make-it), then I would suggest adding (smerge/redirect) the information provided in the source to the Skittles article. If no about-source can be provided, the article should be deleted. -- saberwyn 11:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• I would say merge to Skittlebrau but we don't have an article for that (I just created the redirect for it). I am shocked. Simply shocked.--SeizureDog 15:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, unless a full explanation of the chemistry underlying why blue Skittles make vodka turn brown is added. If you mix Skittles candy with vodka, they dissolve. What will science come up with next? (It is also unclear why Skittlebrau redirects to an article about an episode of The Simpsons.) - Smerdis of Tlön 15:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

IIRC, Skittlebrau appears in that particular episode. FrozenPurpleCube 22:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete It's a simple how-to. Betaeleven 16:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As much as I appreciate the advice that I avoid white candy so that my vodka doesn't turn into a "semen-like mess" this is - surprise - a how-to. Bitnine 16:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Love it, tempted to try it too as I have a bottle of vodka in the cupboard - but its not for wikipedia. May I suggest the creator post his vodka receipe to a food channel forum where it will be truely appriciated and may one day become world famous and then you can post to wikipedia! --PrincessBrat 19:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. ffm ^yes? 21:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I'm going to be different and say keep, we have pages for many other kinds of cocktails and mixers so why not this? It needs a serious rewrite but I dont see a reason why the concept of a page for this should be abandoned. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 13:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
