Perennial tea ceremony

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The perennial tea ceremony is a localized event by an obscure organization. There is no indication for its notability. Searches point mostly to sites that were derived from this article for the most part, while there was little to none reliable and secondary sources found. This seems more a promotional piece than anything else. Cold Season (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see enough refs to pass GNG, and if the creator Lin Easu (林易山) and the Ten Ren Teaism Foundation don't have articles and don't seem to be googlable outside of the blogosphere, then I doubt this ceremony is notable. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:25, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment There is a Ten Ren Tea company (which seems notable), but there's no mention of a Foundation in the article. Someone asked on the talk page there what connection there was between the company and the Foundation, but in about nine months no-one has answered. I can't see anything on Google that looks like an RS - many mirrors, GNU licensed things and pages with titles like "Naked Hairy Men" (not investigated...), wordpress and so on.

 * Hmmmm, that's a long way off: Ten Ren Tea --> Ten Ren Teaism Foundation --> Perennial tea ceremony. This may be covered in the Chinese media somewhere, but I only see blog matches at search engines. If you want to dig deeply, feel frea, but I avoid clicking too many of those websites due to a bad experience once, and a fair few warnings that my browser is heading to a bad url.

 * Delete Appears only to be connected to this Foundation, which doesn't seem particularly notable itself. Peridon (talk) 10:19, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
