non notable ice cream. Theroadislong (talk) 09:55, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. You beat me to it, Theroadislong. I was about to make the same nomination. The references are either to routine coverage or to the company's news releases. The only claims to notability are:

that one of the brand's flavours won a 'GrandGold award' at the international Monde Selection awards. However companies submit their products for evaluation (at a cost of €1,200) and 412 such awards were given in 2019 so they're not exactly exclusive.
in 2013 they won a 'best new brand' award at Gulfood Awards 2013.

I don't think these awards are significant enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. This seems to me to be pure promo. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 10:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Why was the article - at this stage, after being declined by AFC with no changes since, moved into mainspace. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 15:12, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In their edit summary they wrote it was to 'avoid draft', i.e. to bypass the AfC process. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:CORP. No reliable sources can be found. Created by WP:SPA and is essentially promotional in violation of WP:PROMO. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 17:25, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete looks to be a WP:NCORP failure due to a lack of in-depth, independent coverage surrounding the topic. SamHolt6 (talk) 22:26, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
