Lady Grey merge
I propose merging Lady Grey (tea) into this article, on the following grounds:
- It is a registered trademark of Twinings, not a style of tea available from other sources.
- It is one of many teas available by Twinings, and I don't see any evidence that it is even among the most widely-available or popular.
- I see scant evidence of notability, see: [1]; I'm not sure this could survive WP:AfD as a standalone article.
I thought of being bold and just merging but I thought I'd bring it up in case anyone had any thoughts to share. I'd also be open to discussion of deletion, if someone would prefer it to merging. Cazort (talk) 22:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- It would make sense, if there were any discussion of their other product lines. Atm, it seems we should just add a single sentence here after the Earl Grey discussion, and delete the Lady Grey article. Modest Genius talk 22:58, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- You could put a WP:Prod on it; I wouldn't object. Cazort (talk) 17:56, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Against: Other Twinings-exlusive teas, such as Prince of Wales have their own articles --68.189.254.22 --Andresgmejiar (talk) 22:30, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- And is there any good reason for them? I'd suggest removing these at all. As to the prince of wales tea, this google news archive search: [2] shows only sparse coverage, mostly fairly trivial...enough for a paragraph maybe on this page but not enough to justify a standalone article. That article, too, as it stands, is totally unsourced. Cazort (talk) 18:59, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Whilst it is a registered trade mark it should have it's own page as many a person searching may not know that it a Twinnings tea. Precedent for this is the Windows article and Office articles not being part of Micrsoft's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.242.59 (talk) 09:56, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, except there's easily enough material for a whole article on Windows or Office on their own. That doesn't seem to be the case for Lady Grey. Modest Genius talk 23:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm against merging Lady Grey into the Twinings article. Twinings and Lipton has lots of teas, but listing them is not relevant or useful. Singling out Lady Grey simply because its trademarked is not enough. Im even for deleting the Lady Grey article all together. PS I deleted the Advert tag, as all the previous tea listings have been removed. Gnurkel (talk) 00:35, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
