Talk:Gin Fizz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was reviewed by a WikiProject Mixed Drinks Participant or other editor and is queued for removal after all usable information has been included in the List of cocktails (or a related list), integrated with another article, or copied to Wikibooks. Nominating this page for deletion through any other method only complicates the Project's standard procedures for dealing with substandard articles like this. To phrase it another way, unless somebody makes major improvements making the article worthy of reevaluation, it will be turned into a redirect just as soon as a Project member (or anyone else who wants to help) finishes processing this article as discussed in the Project's resulting actions guidelines.
Do not remove this tag. If you disagree with the classification of this article as a micro-stub, locate the {{WPMIXMergeDelete}} tag near the top of this page and replace it with {{WPMIXMergeDelete|disputed=yes}}. Then clearly explain your reasons below is a section titled "Disputed Removal". Focus on the notability of the article's topic and include references to reliable sources to support your statements.
Why redirect instead of delete? It is important to preserve the edit history of this article for GFDL compliance, since some usable information is likely to be retained. Deleting removes access to that information.
This mixed drink or bartending-related article is supported by the Mixed Drinks WikiProject, a project to improve Wikipedia's materials related to mixed drinks, bartending, and related subjects.

If you feel this article is substandard and are considering deletion—please bring it to our attention so we can try to fix it. To do so, add or set the class of this template to MergeDel (i.e., {{WPMIX|class=MergeDel}}), and then note the reason below in a section titled "Removal Requested". This identifies the page as a high priority for review and likely removal through merging and redirection by our project participants. For GFDL license compliance, we need to keep the edit history intact in case there is any information worth merging elsewhere. You may also discuss the matter on our project talk page. If no progress is made within 30 days of flagging this article, please proceed with the usual deletion nomination process. Thanks.

Merge or Delete

[edit] Requested move

Quoted from Wikipedia:Requested moves#8 February 2007:

“ This move is being requested by participants of the Mixed Drinks WikiProject involved in the cleanup and assessment of mixed drinks/cocktails articles.
  • This article has been flagged for merge or delete for 1-2 months.
  • In its current form, it is essentially a recipe (which is not desirable at Wikipedia).
  • A new article (Fizz (cocktail)) was written by a project participant that covers the "fizz" family of cocktails.
  • Some information from Gin Fizz is incorporated into the new article, and the edit history must be kept for GFDL license reasons.
  • Normally, I would just blank the article and create a redirect noting the reason with an appropriate R template.
  • This time, there are more than one articles being merged together, and I wanted to be sure that we were doing everything properly.
  • There will be a few other similar "family" mergings coming up, so this is our litmus test to see how to best accomplish this (maybe there is a better way that an admin can do it that we can't?).
  • This move is probably entirely uncontroversial. The Ramos gin fizz [the other article involved] might not be.
 ”

Please discuss the actual move at the new article since more than one article is under discussion. Thank you. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 07:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
