What is the reason for marking the article for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpvosloo (talk • contribs) 19:47, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unless someone can prove to me that this is the Afrikaans term for Coffee rather than koffie, in which case I'd recommend a redirect. As far as I can tell this is a trademark or product name of some kind. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 20:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Boere troos is, I think, Afrikaans for "farmer's rest". This is apparently an idiomatic reference to coffee, but not the Afrikaans word for coffee, which, as FreeRangeFrog points out, is koffie. Cnilep (talk) 03:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Given that (A) the article is factually incorrect, (B) it cites no sources to establish notability, (C) there is no distinct concept to be discussed other than the word itself, and (D) no one has suggested any reason to keep the article, I say close this discussion and delete the article.
