Just having a list of brands of ice cream reads horribly like an advertisement! Would it not be more sensible to have a list of ice cream flavours, such as vanilla, tutti frutti, strawberry, chocolate, raspberry ripple, coffee or neapolitan? ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 15:52, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
I have just started such a category. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 00:05, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
And it now seems that some one has merged it with ice cream. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 09:27, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Page is littered with hyper-links and badly formatted. Lithium ( talk) 20:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
The list is again littered with apparently non-notable listings and external links used as references. Unless anyone objects, I will soon remove all listings that do not have an associated Wikipedia article and remove all "references" that are nothing more than links to the brand's website.

@ Deli nk, Northamerica1000, Alexf, Lard Almighty, Narky Blert, UnitedStatesian, and Mean as custard:
The current page notice Template:Editnotices/Page/List of ice cream brands reads:
and links to WP:Write the article first, which is a very reasonable essay, though not official WP policy -- reasonable because it protects list pages from non-notable entries and spam. However, that essay says nothing about interwiki links. To be fair, interwiki links were only introduced in 2013, 5 years after the WTAF essay was first written. But the WP editing guideline WP:Red link explicitly encourages the use of interwiki links:
Forbidding interwiki links creates WP:Systemic bias against brands from outside the Anglosphere, which are more likely to be covered in their own Wikipedias. And sure enough, the current article is missing some of the most important ice cream brands worldwide. For example, most ice cream sold in Italy is from mass-market brands like Motta and Algida , which aren't covered in the English WP. The English WP does include the famous artisanal or artisanal-style brands Grom (company) and Giolitti (which were missing from this list, but I just added) which are more likely to be known to (and appeal to) English-speaking tourists, thus giving the misleading impression that all Italian ice cream is from high-end, artisanal gelaterie.
Of course, ideally, we should have articles on major ice cream brands worldwide in the English Wikipedia. However, it's more realistic to take advantage of the work done on other Wikipedias and allow Template:Interlanguage links (as above for Motta and Algida).
What's more, this policy of forbidding non-English Wikipedia entries was never even mentioned on this Talk page (or for that matter in edit comments), let alone discussed.
Let's remove the word "English" from the page notice, and encourage the use of ill links to get a more worldwide view, and to support our colleagues working on other Wikipedias. -- Macrakis ( talk) 15:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
I see that the Indian brand Kwality Wall's is missing. Should I add that or the brands individually (such as Cornetto)? I'm Here to Help You ( talk) 11:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
