Three Twins

Small ice cream store chain in San Francisco. Asserted claim of notability is that it is the "first organic ice cream store chain in the US", which doesn't appear to me to be a claim of particular notability. The only two independent sources are the SF Business Journal (such journals often report on nonnotable businesses) and an article on the owner in the Cornell alumni magazine (the only source for the "first organic chain" claim. I don't think this satisfies WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:21, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment They also distribute at least regionally. I've seen the product in stores, Fred Meyer (Kroger), I think, and perhaps even in Whole Foods. Just something to follow up on. There may be more sources--I haven't had a chance to investigate. Valfontis (talk) 16:41, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep I added a couple of better sources, from the San Francisco Chronicle and the Huffington Post. I think it might squeak through as notable. --MelanieN (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm changing "weak keep" to definite keep, thanks to the impressive sources found and added by Arxiloxos. Nice work. --MelanieN (talk) 03:39, 30 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep I think the fact that it's got 4 shops, that it's organic, that is has national distrubition, and that we have some good sources covering it (even if some of them are local, regional, or university publications) together make it worth keeping. It's definitely not a strong case, but I think it's reasonable to think that people might want to know about this ice cream brand and that it's wortwhile to provide an entry on it.

 * Keep. I share the nominator's skepticism about the "first organic chain" claim, but this is now a national brand that has received substantive coverage in significant non-Bay Area media such as The Wall Street Journal, CNNMoney, and Los Angeles Times (sources now added to the article).  So I think the notability threshold is surpassed. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:59, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Need more ice cream articles. -- do ncr  am  03:04, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
