[edit] The blue crab
Originally redirected to Blue crab, the creator of this confusing article put the original content back in, which is neither notable per WP:N, verifiable per WP:V and may be a WP:HOAX. Mh29255 (talk) 18:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as per Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. --Allen3 talk 18:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

- Delete Appears to be an advertisement of some kind for a non-notable beverage / alcoholic drink. Should be redirected back to Blue Crab. --Hdt83 Chat 02:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Do not delete OK, the article is not a hoax. I can supply at least 8 people to verify the drink exists. There are also a facebook group 'Blue Crabs, Drank and Games'. It was also not made up in one day, but evolved over many summers. It is not an avertisment of any kind, this is not something that is for sale. The reason for this page, although confusing and not well written, is that many people visit Still Bay (holiday destination in South Africa) each year and asks what the name of the drink is that we enjoy.

- Yes it was "made up one day" (please read WP:NFT, especially the analogy to the creation of Scrabble). A Facebook does not assert notability for anything. In fact, it's only notable to a very small and select group of people with no widespread claim to why this is notable. At all. Doc Strange (talk) 14:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

- Still do not think it falls under the "made up one day" category as it is not known by only a select few people. Well, that off course depends on what the definition of 'select few' is. It isnt just a spesific group or group of friends that knows about the blue crab. It is known in at least 7 south african cities and also in London. Fanienel (talk) 06:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
