 * Strong keep Fieldbrook Farms is the largest private label ice cream manufacturer in the east, and is made up of companies which have been in existence for over 100 years. In that history of over a century the company has evolved in many ways reflected corporate America in general. It has an interesting and noteworthy history. It is a very notable company in the food industry and more than worthy of a Wikipedia article.68.109.18.69 (talk) 01:23, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Age does not contribute to notability in this case, and I can find nothing online about the company's early history, nor does the article provide any information about this evolution and why this company is notable. SandBoxer (talk) 01:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * These article discusses some of the events of the company's past. Definitely notable: http://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/stories/2000/06/05/story5.html, http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3301/is_n8_v98/ai_19934646/, http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=fieldbrook+farms (articles only relevant after 1996 because prior to that the company was known as Dunkirk Ice Cream). Try plugging Fieldbrook Farms, Dunkirk Ice Cream, any of its previous names or names of its subsidiaries into Google or Google News (archives) and you will find numerous articles highlighting its uniqueness, importance and notability.68.109.18.69 (talk) 04:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep per 68.109.18.69's sources, which are certainly non-trivial. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 00:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:CORP, I added the BusinessWeek profile to the reference section. It went bankrupt in 2001 and has had plenty of non-trivial coverage.  It's a private-label frozen dairy product manufacturer which means if you eat a store brand in the Northeast U.S. they probably made it. Drawn Some (talk) 00:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
