RFD discussion: October 2019[edit]

I've added this here not because the entry begins with a capital letter, but do we include ice-cream flavours ? Seems endless. I don't see banana walnut but I do see we have rocky road (perhaps because it first refers to a type of chocolate bar ?) ... Leasnam (talk) 03:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Part of the reason I added it is because unless you're familiar with the ice cream flavour, you're probably thinking of an actual tiger's tail. I capitalized it because I'm using to seeing article titles in Wikipedia that way. If this entry is suitable here, I'm absolutely fine with it being moved to tiger tail.

The definition simply states "Ice cream flavor" . Can you please add some additional information describing the flavour (chocolate, fruity, striped, etc.) ? Leasnam (talk) 04:02, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
The quotations give some description and I was trying to avoid being repetitive. Would "Ice cream flavour, orange-coloured with stripes of black licorice" work? Clovermoss (talk) 04:12, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
That, or perhaps "an orange-flavoured ice cream with black licorice swirl" ? Leasnam (talk) 04:23, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Once updated I'll move it to tiger tail until we get this resolved :) Leasnam (talk) 04:24, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
I like your description better. Do you want to add it since you came up with it? Also, once the page is moved, is there still going to be a discussion here about whether or not the entry will be deleted? Clovermoss (talk) 04:29, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I can add it and move it. I would appreciate additional input from others on this if possible, yes. Leasnam (talk) 04:30, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Updated and Moved. The term is certainly idiomatic, no question there. Just wondering if it's proper Dictionary Material. Leasnam (talk) 04:37, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Keep if there is generic use: it's not an obvious sum of parts like rum and raisin or cherry vanilla, but one of the non-obvious ones like rocky road, blue moon, Superman ice-cream. (However, trademarks from a single manufacturer should not be included unless they are hugely well known like kleenex.) It does seem generic and I've added a link to Wikipedia's article.

Ok, Thanks Equinox. I withdraw my RFD for this term. Leasnam (talk) 14:46, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
