"New England Frozen Lemonade" redirects to this page. That's incorrect. New England Frozen Lemonade is a competitor to Del's.

Fair use rationale for Image:Delscup.jpg
Image:Delscup.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Rhode Island
I just had to add somet hings to thsi artical, as well as numerous others. I really hate it when I see an artical about something FROM RHODE ISLAND, that states New England. I gave it a brief history thing to tell you where it was from. But seriously, are people ashamed of something being from RI?

Search Coffee Milk. While it is found else where, it is a pridominantly RI thing. It says New England.

And Cabinet (as in the milkshake) jeez...

Merger
The result of the discussion was merge. Non-admin closure by Jeremy ( Blah blah... ) 05:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC).

Okay, it's been tagged for a while, but no discussion started. So I'll start: let's merge it. Del's and their lemonade are only notable with respect to each other, especially the company being for its lemonade. I think the lemonade is more important, being well known, even iconic in some circles, as opposed to yet another company that makes a popular product. Neither article is so long that a unified one would be excessive, and there's already a lot of overlap of content between the two. I support merging Dels into Del's Lemonade, being a more specific/descriptive title (and even spelled correctly--the name does have the apostrophe), and no objection to leaving a redirect at the other one.

 * Support merge to whichever title is believed to be most appropriate by Wikipedian aficionados of this stuff. Badagnani (talk) 01:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Support merge also. Betawaffles (talk) 05:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Support merge - It's quite silly to have two articles for the exact same company. It's not like one is a subsidiary of another.--Oakshade (talk) 04:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Wrong merge
Why was this merged to "Del's," when the merge proposal clearly states "I support merging Dels into Del's Lemonade"? Also, the official site says at the top bar, "Del's Lemonade," not "Del's." Badagnani (talk) 05:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Del's is not a "genericized trademark"
This article stated that Del's is a "genericized trademark." The term "genericized trademark" has a specific legal meaning -- that the word or phrase has lost its meaning as a source identifier and now serves merely as the name of the product itself (e.g., cellophane, escalator, etc.). "Del's" with the lemon logo is a federally registered trademark in good standing. "Del's" may be highly identified with frozen lemonade or synonymous with it, but I doubt I could set up shop with the Del's name out front in R.I. and sell frozen lemonade. Therefore, this is a misuse of the legal term. Given the distinction, I have changed the reference so that it says that "Del's is synonymous with frozen lemonade. I am a trademark lawyer, but I do not do any kind of legal work for Del's. Gsshatan (talk) 23:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
