Unreferenced concept that appears to be an invention of the authors. I am unable to find coverage that would meet notability guidelines. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 22:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly unotable and promotional, possibly qualifyfor speedy delete. Additionally, the one 'reference' on the page doesn't mention the drink, but merely is about alcohol stimulant drinks being banned in Washington. Ravendrop (talk) 22:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article describes original research and the beverage is made up. Cullen328 (talk) 23:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Delete as both made up and based on original research, as noted by Cullen. Clear case for snow. Geoff ^{Who, me?} 02:21, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article does not describe original research though the beverage is made up. This article was created to archive an evening of experimentation, and honestly I have no idea how people even found it so quickly to get so mad about it. Please by all means delete it.greg.colerobotics 23:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nom is exactly right. This drink is WP:MADEUP with no coverage from reliable sources. • Gene93k (talk) 16:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Greg - if you saw how many pages come up here about new cocktails of alcohol plus some often unlikely ingredient, and how many 'new' drinking games are widely notable despite having been invented the night before, you wouldn't wonder why we get fed up. How did we find it? People patrol the recent edits, and also the edits by new accounts. We are a filter to stop spam, hoaxes, attacks, 'Shaun is awwwweeeesssommme' pages and other such from getting noticed by the ordinary non-editing users of Wikipedia. Some pages get deleted within minutes of creation. Your article did contain a bit of useful info - the banning of certain drinks - but as a reference for your subject, that doesn't work. It probably needs to be recorded somewhere (possibly already is - you'd be amazed at how fast things get in here), but your article IS original research in that you and your group carried it out, and it is not referenced anywhere independently of you (if even there...). I personally don't envy you the evening - the stuff sounds disgusting (and that comes from someone who has drunk both (but separately) whisky and gin with iron brew...). Anyway - now you know a bit more about how Wikipedia works and what goes on behind the scenes. Peridon (talk) 16:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
