Quotations

  We mashed some Typhoo, got down a couple of enamel mugs, spooned-in a couple of good dollops of Nestlé's condensed took one or two scalding sips, and the kitchen table started to come back into focus.

Previously discussed in June of last year; see Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/Archives/2007/06, prior to the CFI modification vote. Does this now meet our criteria? -- Visviva 14:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

How militant are we supposed to be about the context conveying the "tea-ness" of Typhoo, rather that "Typhoo" conveying "tea-ness"? In a really strict approach, only one quotes 2 and 4 would work, IMHO. DCDuring 15:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's the question. I would lean towards militancy, myself; but if it fails the test I would simply vote to move it to Appendix:Brand names/Typhoo, since good work has been done here. Or maybe we should just have an Appendix:Proper nouns to simplify placement of good entries which don't meet mainspace CFI. -- Visviva 10:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I am applying the "band aid" test, this brand hasn't gotten to that level. - [The]DaveRoss 21:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
