Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Whiskey Slaps, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Ben Ben (talk) 14:01, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- If you want to make an article about this, you will have to demonstrate WP:Notability by providing references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The one reference in your article was about something quite different, a cosmetic treatment, not a bar game. See also Wikipedia is not for things made up one day and Wikipedia:Your first article.

I've listed a few other references, one a significant article. I cannot see them on this page for some reason. They may on a different user talk page? I'm kind of confused by all these user talk areas. Has anyone read about the other arguments and references I've provided?

- Examiner.com and Youtube are not reliable sources because people can write whatever they like there without any sort of editorial check. That's why you couldn't link to them. On its Wikipedia page the executive editor of Examiner.com is quoted saying "They're blogs. They don't get edited. We don't give any direction to people on what to write in their blogs."
- I've looked down the results of a Google search and I don't see anything more reliable.
- New fads come and go, they get onto Youtube and into Urban Dictionary, but Wikipedia is not interested until there is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to establish WP:Notability. See WP:42 for what that means. That's intended to provide some assurance that this will not just be forgotten next week. WP:NEO about neologisms covers some of the same ground.
- Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
