[edit] Whiskey Straight Whiskey

Whiskey Straight Whiskey (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested prod for newly invented drink. Subject appears to be unverifiable, as the only Google hits referring to the drink are other Wikipedia pages.[1] Delete as per Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Allen3 ^talk 14:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep How was any drink or anything created for that matter if no one made it up? This is a local drink that has become popular with the military in Minot ND.Retrovertigo99

  The issue is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, a place to summarize existing published knowledge, not a forum for announcing new creations and discoveries. As a result, all articles must comply with Wikipedia:Verifiability. As you have provided no citations to independent published sources and the above Google search finds no mention of this drink in any online bartender guides there is no reason to believe that the sources required to meet Wikipedia's verification requirements exist. --Allen3 ^talk 23:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Retrovertigo, read The Scrabble Analogy. That should clear up what we mean by "made up one day" Doc Strange^{Telepathic Messages}Strange Frequencies 15:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Strong Delete - even if it's not made up, there's no notability, verifiability and no GHits for anything other than the wikipedia article. Pete Fenelon (talk) 02:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
