Unsourced, likely OR, or neologism. Prod removed (with no explanation) by an IP. Crossmr 18:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plastic Paddies

Unreferenced Neologism. Prod removed. Google hits result in a lot of things like mirrors of wikipedia, and urban dictionary in the top results. Crossmr 18:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

'Move to Plastic Paddy, which is a well-known phrase. A google search will show references, here are two to start with: [1] and [2]. Catchpole 18:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Everything2.com isn't a reference, its a self-published site anyone can write anything on, much like urban dictionary.--Crossmr 18:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
It also appears to be a term solely used by the people involved in this survey. That article doesn't give any indication that its a widespread popular term in use.--Crossmr 18:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, well here are some sources of the terms being used in interviews. I will reiterate that it is in widespread use in Britain and Ireland. [3] and [4]. Catchpole 19:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete as per given reasons above. --ChinaNailStorm 19:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - per nom. Zaxem 03:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete.- I found this article on a random article search and it's elitist euro nonsense that casts Wikipedia in a bad light. Sam 20:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carbomb (cocktail)

Non-notable cocktail. Entirely unreferenced except for a recipe (and WP:NOT a recipe book), it is full of opinion and OR. The article is not improving with time. Quale 19:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

  • delete per nom. --BlackJack | talk page 19:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • keep: what's a "notable" cocktail? I've ordered them. The bartenders knew what they were. How much more notability does a cocktail need? -Acjelen 19:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • If we can establish verifiability that it's not just a local drink, then keep but otherwise transwiki to wikibooks and delete the rest. ColourBurst 20:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Its a popular drink for sure - but that doesn't change the fact that Wikipedia is NOT a recipe or how to site. Once the recipe is removed, this is just an article about a trendy but ultimately non particularly notable drink. Delete - CosmicPenguin (Talk) 03:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't know what "local" is to the original editor, but I have friends in Southern California for whom this is their drink of choice. I don't drink them myself, because I don't drink stout. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep.I've heard of it, it may still not be encyclopedic though.-Kmaguir1 22:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I've heard of it, and I don't drink. Seems to be a widely-available drink and should merit a mention. I imagine a good editor could turn the recipe section into more encyclopedic prose. Zagalejo 14:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It is a commonly ordered drink in bars, and I have had quite a few. BadBrad7431

delete: it's in such bad taste. it's like having a cocktail consisting of two sambucas which one sets alight and then knocking over, and calling it the twin towers

  • keep, pretty widely known. Stilgar135 16:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC) user:svkumar21 Keep, it's known throughout.
  • weak Keep I've not heard of it, but it seems enough other people have to say it's noteworthy - Blood red sandman 15:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, judging from the comments above it seems notable enough. bbx 08:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I had 4 last night ... and the bar had them on special... quite clearly a popular (and therefore notable) mixed drink... if it must leave wiki... move it to Wikibooks (cookbook or bartenders guide).  ALKIVAR™ 18:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep There's plenty of other cocktails that are no more notable than this one, in Wikipedia. A short representative recipe (as opposed to a laundry list of recipes and variants) should be valid if it helps the reader understand what the cocktail is. Yes, the article needs citing and cleaning up, so what, that can be said of plenty of articles. Tubezone 21:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Petty ireland

Apparently Lucy-marie made up a state in Ireland so that Image:Petty.gif can be used in an article and won't be deleted as an orphaned fair use image. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 14:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

please follow this link as it a database of from places aroound the world and petty is mentioned as a place in Ireland http://www.heraldry.ws/p/index3.html --Lucy-marie 14:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Doesn't say anywhere on that site that it's a state in Ireland though... --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 14:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
That's a list of family names. Petty is not a state in Ireland.   Keithology  Talk!  14:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok then i have been mistaken it is the coat of arms of a family in Ireland and not a state in Ireland i will edit that then.--Lucy-marie 14:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete OK, it's a family name. And...? -- Kicking222 14:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Serves no purpose as an article.   Keithology  Talk!  14:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Still Delete; probably even qualifies for speedy deletion (WP:CSD#A7) now. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 14:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge I have changed my mind delete the page but incorporate the image with William Petty as it was his family's coat of arms. If that is done please go ahead and delete the page.--Lucy-marie 15:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional Keep—There certainly is such a place in Ireland (see the William Petty article and articles on his relatives mention of Petty estates, which comprises a geographic area noteworthy by Wiki practice). However putting an article up with no further information than a coat of arms is inappropriate. So my vote of keep is conditioned on adding enough substance to the article to allow us to figure out on a map where Petty is; after all we are an encyclopedia. Williamborg (Bill) 15:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    Comment, there is no place in Ireland called Petty. Petty estates merely refers to land and property owned by the Petty family. Nuttah68 15:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • changed to conditional keep same reasons as above but now that image has ben deleted the only condition of my delteion has been blown out of the water i think that it was inapropriate for the removal of the Image.--Lucy-marie 15:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment The image wasn't deleted, I just removed it from a couple of user pages per WP:FUC #9. It is still used in this article. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 15:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Seems the image (heraldry) is appropriate if linked to the Petty family—which one must suspect it is. If you can establish this, and if there isn't a copyright violation in using the image (probably not if it is old enough) then you can restore the image. Williamborg (Bill) 15:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The heraldry belongs on the appropriate article. Other than that this in a non entity as articles go. Nuttah68 15:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete useless article. Pathlessdesert 17:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. The article I saw had been blanked by its original creator, with no other edits. No opinion yet as to whether it is worth re-creation. FWIW, I question whether heraldic images assembled from traditional public domain elements can be copyrighted. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment While the coat-of-arms in question was used by Charles Petty, 1st Baron Shelburne, Henry Petty, 1st Earl of Shelburne and John Petty, 1st Earl of Shelburne, the Marquesses of Lansdowne did not use it alone, but quartered it with their paternal arms of Fitzmaurice. Choess 20:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
