Merge with Non-alcoholic mixed drink

[edit]
Resolved
 – done

Neither of these two articles present sufficient information to stand separately. They should be merged. Neelix (talk) 01:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, the two articles cover such similar information that it would be better presented as one article. My only concern is that some future editor may removed the list of drinks from the merged article, but they can always be added back. Ariadne55 (talk) 04:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

I find it odd that two little astronomers have drinks named after them. Does anybody else get the idea that the Amanda Hendrix and Josh Colwell entries were written by a glib astronomy student. At any rate, I cannot find any other sources referring to a mixture of coke or diet coke and lemonade by these names. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.184.16.230 (talk) 03:28, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, good eye. I removed that item. It'd been in there since November 2007! Dreamyshade (talk) 03:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also found online that there was a drink named after a fictional princess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rouge2 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

[edit]

I've cleaned up the section significantly, removing all the WP:NN drinks per WP:NFT and WP:V. Please don't add beverages that aren't notable enough for their own article. This is the same principle that is called out explicitly in WP:BIO, but there really isn't any WP:NA-Beverage, although he same principle applies. Please don't add WP:HOWTO or WP:NN entries.

OK, can you advise then if these would be allowed in the list:

- Chapman's (from West Africa) - Strawberry Water (from England) - Citron Pressé (a lemon-flavoured drink, from France) - Hortcho (a drink from Spain, made with Tiger Nuts) They are referred to in two cookery books I have, I would add the references of course. Thanks for any advice on that. Double Happiness (talk) 00:23, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

This is a bit of an odd article. Why not milk? Tea? Elderflower cordial? Pepsi? Dandelion and burdock? I think "non-alcoholic cocktails" or something would be a more appropriate title. 67.173.255.139 (talk) 04:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Elderflower cordial. There'a a wiki page for it so it seems a good idea to link to it here. Pepsi and Dandelion and Burdock are different from the other drinks here because they are soft drinks, which have their own page. My understanding of this article is it is about non-alcoholic, still, concocted, beverages. Double Happiness (talk) 00:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't that a somewhat random collection of drinks? The article itself claims to be about non-alcoholic beverages in general, in my opinion this should include juices and soft drinks (it does now include milk, water and soft-drinks, but for some reason no juices). Pepsi was probably omitted because there is already a general entry for cola. PinkShinyRose (talk) 16:33, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Expand with additional list for branded products?

[edit]

Wouldn't it be a good thing to expand this page with an additional list for notable brands of non-alcolholic beverages as opposed to traditional recipes? Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-alcoholic_beverages there is large number of existing wikipedia pages for both drinks brands and traditional formulations, I think it would be great to use links to these articles to beef this page up. The existing article does say it needs expanded, right? As I user what I am actually looking for at the moment is two extensive lists as I have mentioned. Any thoughts?

Bias: US-law in first paragraph in the first paragraph

[edit]

The definition of non-alcoholic used by this article is severely biased towards a US point of view, I am unsure what other definition to use though. Perhaps including legislation from other countries could reduce this bias, although I would prefer a more international definition. Removing the definition might also be an option, the criterion for the list could be it being considered non-alcoholic in the area where it is broadly consumed. However, this may be difficult to find out, as all entries in the list are unattributed. PinkShinyRose (talk) 17:49, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
