Talk:Twinings

message: 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: ; 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)
replies: text: 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)

replies: text:  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:  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)

text: 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)

text: 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)

text: There is already a small section on Lady Grey on the Earl Grey page.  It seems to me that it would be a more logical merge than into the Twinnings page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.233.152 (talk) 10:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in favor of this method. Lady Grey being a variant on Earl Grey, I think it would be more suitable to have it as a small sub-section of the Earl Grey article, rather than invalidating the current information on Lady Grey tea by merging it with an article with which it shares little in common.99.180.114.26 (talk) 15:04, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

text: I prefer separate pages for the sake of searchability and modularity. I think these pages will grow with time.8 Jan 2010  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.35.17.15 (talk) 13:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

text: I agree that both Lady Grey and other articles related to particular teas should be deleted. They bear no relevance, have no citations and brings no relevant information to the community. I'm for deletions. Gnurkel (talk) 11:49, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lady Grey merge 

message: I'm removing a link to a press release for Twinings New Zealand breakfast tea introduced in 2010.  See WP:UNDUE.  It is unclear whether this product is still available, or where.  This is a press release to announce one of many varieties of Twinings tea, available in one of many markets.  Maybe if there was a link to independent news coverage of this event, it would be notable.  Honestly, do we really need a link to press releases to every flavor of tea in every local market?  If someone made a serious attempt to list all the flavors of tea in various markets, that would be okay.  But this element of trivia does not belong in the Today section of the article.

thread_title:  Twinings New Zealand breakfast tea 

message: Seen from a Scandinavian horizon, Lipton, Tetley and Twinings appear to be the three main brands of British Tea. Is this the case also in the UK ? And do they all produce the same main products ?  Like English Breakfast, Earl Grey etc and perhaps also Black Currant (the only fruit flavored tea which I like. But Earl Grey is my overall favorite.) Brands produced in the UK are a necessity in life, although brewed "Green Zoega" coffee is even more important, in the morning.

message: Twinings makes also tea with Black Currant taste,  (sorry for the advertise), and with lemon taste and other fruits or berries. Are fruit flavored tea seen as different from "regular tea" , in the UK ? I'm Scandinavian, and not entirely enlightened of every aspect of the British Tea-culture, although 90% of all tea sold in Sweden are UK imported (Twinings, Tetley and Lipton, and flavors like Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Black Currant, Lemon and others).

message: Cleaning up this article, and suggest that the advertising effect here might be greatly reduced by replacing the entire "Varieties" section with a single sentence, as per WP:NOTCAT and WP:ADVERT, such as:
