[edit] Mauds Ice Cream

Blatant advertising, no sources cited Atomsprengja 23:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Article is not referenced or written in an appropriate style, but the brand is indeed famous in Northern Ireland at least, and has some measure of notability south of the border also. I recommend leaving it unless someone improves it - it is preferable to someone finding nothing under that article title. The article quality is embarrassing, but hey, Wikipedia is full of such articles (just click random article). zoney ♣ talk 23:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, unless someone is willing to rewrite the artile with sources, in neutral prose. --Porqin 18:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete copyvio from [1] Dlyons493 Talk 21:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete as copyvio, advertising. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 09:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep & Edit Seems to be a legit company, just needs to be edited to remove advert tone. Some users seem to think that every article based on a business must be removed which is not the case.
• delete. Fails WP:CORP. --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 15:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep I'll try and fix it myself - there's not too much advertising that can't be edited out and there's also some useful information. Is it alright now? - THE GREAT GAVINI {T-C} 14:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete the article is much improved and the copyvio is gone (well done on the cleanup!). But the issue of WP:CORP still remains - if there were a reliable source showing it to be the largest producer in N.I. my feeling is that would meet WP:CORP - the one given in the article may be correct, but I can't lend it much credence (it's a small commercial site). Dale Farm Ice Cream used to be (maybe still is) the brand leader for a long time. Can someone find a reliable source? Dlyons493 Talk 16:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the recently edited version by Greatgavini. Yamaguchi先生 02:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
