Farm which fails WP:CORP, no coverage in non-local sources. Two previous AFDs were closed as procedural keeps per WP:ILLEGIT due to the nominator being a sockpuppet of a banned user. Claritas § 20:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete: Because the banning policy should not be involved in deletion discussions regardless of one's status of being a sock or legit. Rohedin (talk) 21:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- :Even I have to point out that this is not a valid reason to delete the article, and the account is a little suspicious too. ╟─TreasuryTag►belonger─╢ 21:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

:::*A combination which is an extreme red flag, I must add.--Milowent (talk) 23:59, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:CORP. I see no evidence non-trivial coverage of the farm in independent, reliable sources. While it's unfortunate that the first 2 AfDs on the article were started by now-banned sock puppets presumably pursuing some sort of vendetta, that doesn't change the fact this article cites no independent, reliable sources.

- Delete as it has [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22dreyer%20farms%22%20%22new%20jersey%22&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=nws:1&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wn seemingly] no valid sources to establish notability. ╟─TreasuryTag►belonger─╢ 21:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete due to lack of notability—a local hero award is not sufficient—and lack of coverage in reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete A long-established business, but with no indication of anything of particular note - other than the Local Heroes award, which is rather, er, local. Apart from which, I note that three of the five awards of that went to places where the magazine "can be found", and that it is a readers' poll award. There could be more history in the business, but it's not in the article if there is. Peridon (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep A lack of references is a reason to add them, not delete an article. The findsources above offers possibilities for expansion and further improvement of this stub.[http://news.google.com/archivesearch?&as_src=-newswire+-wire+-presswire+-PR+-press+-release+-wikipedia&q=%22Dreyer+Farms%22][http://books.google.com/books?as_brr=0&as_pub=-icon&q=%22Dreyer+Farms%22].

::Trivial, passing mentions of the farm or its owner do not demonstrate notability. Yilloslime TC 23:05, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:CORP quite comprehensively. MickMacNee (talk) 22:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep for now I understnd that the principal editor will shortly be adding some more information justifying the page's existance. I think he should be allowed time to do that. Giacomo 23:08, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

- Delete- nowhere near passing WP:CORP. Reyk YO! 23:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Keep Definitely notable per frequent references in easily available online references. This historic farm has also been covered in offline sources and dates to 1904 and is recognized widely as significant. Freakshownerd (talk) 00:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
