New mixed drink; non-notable, unsourced. Orange Mike | Talk 02:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no refs or sources found via usual searches. Appears to be non-notable. Eddie.willers (talk) 02:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Snow delete. It seems this just escapes {{db-nocontext}} because it states how the drink is made, but I cannot find any sources other than Urban Dictionary and Answers.com (otherwise, I would suggest merging it to List of cocktails). Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. Urban Dictionary is not a reliable source. Possibly made up. Cullen328 (talk) 08:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All cocktails are made up. This one is available in pubs in Swindon, UK. I found it being served on Saturday 11th November. Just because you can't find a source online, doesn't mean an item doesn't exist. There is more to this world than what you can find on the internet. The Glitterbomb is a genuine cocktail. You should try it. MuzHell 10:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)</[reply]

Please read our standards on verifiability and our standards of notability. You're tacitly admitting that this fails both standards. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:32, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you type Glitterbomb Goldschlager into Google, there are links to several bars and clubs that serve this cocktail. Is that not proof that it's not made up?

Comment Of course, all cocktails are made up at the beginning, but those that are notable and have enduring articles in Wikipedia need to have multiple, independent, reliable sources that discuss them in detail. A mention on the website of a bar or club promoting a new drink does not qualify. Perhaps an article in a daily paper that serves the Swindon area that discusses this new drink sensation might qualify. Can you provide such reliable sources?

Delete non-notable drink of which nothing can be said besides WP:ITEXISTS. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
