Zealong

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of notability for this particular brand; the refs are basically PR, despite being published in newspapers.  DGG ( talk ) 22:05, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * keep Favoring keeping: WP:RFD#KEEP 1/ New Zealand tea is peculiar enough that some people in the tea world find it useful and interesting that there is more to tea than tea bag, Indian black, and supermarket brand. Same goes for Nepal tea, Malawi's exceptional white teas, or Taiwan's high mountain teas. Zealong also contributes to New Zealand's exports by adding to the usual milk powder and fine wines. 2/ The article does not advertise nor comment on the quality of the products. 3/ Many other tea brands have a wikipedia page, when they are far from being the sole representative of a country's industry: Mariage_Frères Upton_Tea_Imports Le_Palais_des_Thés Twinings Lipton Charleston_Tea_Plantation etc. (signed: User: Fogull)
 * delete with a nod to the quality of New Zealand tea, the matter at hand is the encyclopedic notability of the subject. Having not read the other tea articles, I . cannot comment on their subjects' notability. This subject lacks significant coverage in verifiable sources unconnected with the subject. A fine tea it may well be, but the subject does not meet notability requirements for an encyclopedia article. Dloh  cierekim  22:20, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Noted as the first commercial tea plantation in New Zealand. Candleabracadabra (talk) 02:42, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep as company has reasonable independent coverage in mainstream media. Needs work but should be easily able to meet notability guidelines. NealeFamily (talk) 22:32, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
