- File:Symbol keep vote.svg Keep from a famous quote. Yes, it isn't on English Wikipedia, but why does that matter? Most wikis have pages not found on English Wikipedia. 58.179.95.13 (talk) 22:54, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- MERGE into article about a fifth of alcohol, as this refers to the standard size of alcohol bottles, not just vodka. This could be confusing for non-native English speakers, or even those not familiar with Americanism (like me). I had to look up what this means because I am used to people saying a 700 mL bottle, which is the same thing, and is the standard large alcohol bottle size, usually used for spirits like vodka. I think we need to rework this a bit but I definitely don't think it should be redirected to Eminem. Blissyu2 (talk) 02:46, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Blissyu2: There is no "fifth of alcohol" article, neither here nor on English Wikipedia. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:01, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- The problem I see is: if we are talking about beer, standard sizes would be 0.2-0.3l, and 0.5l; wine: usually a glass of 1-2dl, (distilled) spirits:0.1-0.2cl. Esp. with the distilled spirits, though: it is common to use them for cocktails, where we would again be in the range of 2-4 dl (0.2-0.4l). As long as we don't have an article which defines thes "common" sizes (no idea, how ocmmon they are outside Europe), there's nothing ot merge this article to. --Eptalon (talk) 02:09, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- I created/translated Fifth (unit), which can be used as a redirect target. Eptalon (talk) 22:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
