Lipton Iced Tea


This appears to be an ad for a product/company. Nominated for deletion. --Fremte (talk) 16:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep It should be re-written because it reads like an advertisement but I believe the subject is notable enough to be on Wikipedia, but the current article is a total re-do.--  Iamawesome  800  17:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lipton and redirect. Just "Iced Tea" fails notability guidelines, but Lipton itself is certainly notable. GreyCat (talk) 18:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Under the precedent of all these articles shown here, here, and even here, I believe that this article is notable. To help deal with the advertising problem, I have rewritten it .   A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 20:46, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reliable references should be dug up about this, but if this page is correct, Lipton Iced Tea was the first canned ice tea (CCBS: "The ready-to-drink market exploded in the early '70s when Lipton introduced Tea-in-a-Can." Lipton: "1972: LIPTON Iced tea in a can introduced in the US"). If [this http://www.unilever.co.uk/ourbrands/foods/Lipton_Iced_Tea.asp] is correct, Lipton Ice Tea is the 15th biggest selling soft drink brand in the world. Lipton Ice Tea is, or certainly used to be, a popular brand all over the world -- as evidenced here, where it was (in 2003) the #4 liked brand by young (after Coca-Cola, Mars and Lion). -- Mvuijlst (talk) 21:32, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lipton and redirect for the same reasons as noted above T-H (talk) 23:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable brand independent of the company, as indicated by sources. 23skidoo (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable for being the first iced tea brand. Some credence could be given for merging since it is a significant part of the business success (at least as far as I know). - Mgm|(talk) 11:08, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep noptable brand, improve article. Artw (talk) 05:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - famous brand. Article needs substantial work, but it meets WP:N and WP:V. Bearian (talk) 01:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
