EL, spam, and redlinks

That's what this article currently consists of. In the near future I intend to trim this to only companies that have Wikipedia articles. There are thousands of tea companies, large, small, and smaller, and Wikipedia isn't intended to be a unqualified directory of them. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

• done, after 21 days talk page notice. This was a major trim. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

I have no idea what EL is. This is a list of companies and will be inherently spammy in nature. All the teas I added are on the shelves of major supermarkets in the UK. Not having a Wikipeadia article does not mean something is non-notable or that it should not appear in an appropriate listing. As I have done previously in other articles, I add an external link, as a citation, only where no Wikipeadia article exists. Please do not shout at me by using whole words typed in capitals, and please remember that you do not 'own' this or any other article. Please point to any discussion or consensus that you have reached before hijacking and butchering this article. I'm going to do a revert now; after that you can do what you like.

'Globally'

I added this category as Lipton appears to be present in every market listed here (as well as many others) and it didn't make sense to duplicate mentions. Given that the brand was founded by a Scot, and now owned by a Anglo-Dutch company, with its marketing headquarters in France, and is no longer sold in UK retail, it barely makes sense to list it as a national brand Mtl1969 (talk) 16:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Milford

Why isn't there a mention of this company from Germany on wikipedia,as much as i know they are popular worldwide... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.180.43.70 (talk) 21:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

The Tea Wiki

Can someone copy this page/create an equivalent on [[1]. Jackiespeel (talk) 15:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC) And please anyone does this brand contain caffeine? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.46.231.92 (talk) 02:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

What to include? Smaller companies...?

What are supposed to be the criteria for inclusion in this article? Obviously there are many many more companies distributing tea than we have listed here... --Oolong (talk) 12:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

There are more listed on the Tea Wiki: the criterion is probably 'someone has come across the name and decided to add it to the list.' :) Jackiespeel (talk) 10:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

The criteria is "Has an English Wikipedia article". Existence is not enough. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Moreover, this page does not require the usual minimum WP:GNG and RS requirements - this page, as a list, requires a standalone article to be created first, at which point it can be added to this list. Garchy (talk) 13:36, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

repetition of global brands

I see the 'Global' section was created ten years ago to prevent Lipton, Tetley, and Twinings being listed in every market. But all three are listed with wikilinks at least five times on the page. Can we figure out a way to eliminate this spam? I propose we remove all listings/links in individual markets to any of the three and only mention them in the lead-in to each section as necessary. --valereee (talk) 12:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
