[edit] Gray-Tea Green

Gray-Tea Green (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable color. No source has been forthcoming. Not in a notable color standard like CSS. Google hits seem mainly Wikipedia mirrors. No need to give names to all the 24-million hex values Notinasnaid 17:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - seems overkill to have an article on every color that exists, and it's not like gray-tea green is a commonly used color. Jayden54 21:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment there are an indefinite but large number of similar articles. It took a few moments to find Violet-eggplant and Lemon cream (color). If it turns out this one is deleted, the chances are many others will meet the same criteria. If there is a way of consolidating this to save the time of AFD voters, please let me know on my talk page, thanks. Notinasnaid 21:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete If someone can find a reliable source, then keep it; otherwise, I see no reason for it to exist. —ShadowHalo 03:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment: There are some colours that would be notable, but as Notinasnaid mentions, there's a possibility of having over 24 million articles on individual colours. Something that should be avoided like the plague! SkierRMH,08:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Using Google I found only 6 pages using the phrase "gray tea green" as a color that do not appear to be merely copies of WP content:
  1. list of colors in some GUI code documentation (possibly derived from the WP list)
  2. list of colors in some adventure game parser source code (I excluded from the search many hits that appeared to be logs of gameplay using this parser)
  3. pocket notebook for sale
  4. Italian edition of Dante for sale
  5. handcrafted ceramic tile for sale
  6. pashmina shawl for sale
None of these mentions any kind of definition (e.g. as an RGB triple) for the color, and none seems usable as an authoritative source. The shawl has a color very similar to the one in the article, but the tile doesn't. —David Eppstein 08:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
