Draft:Lem's Pops

Submission declined on 11 February 2025 by AlphaBetaGamma (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Lem's Pops is a family-owned ice cream truck business based in Spokane, Washington, known for its unique origin and community engagement. Established in 2019, the venture was inspired by then 4-year-old Lemyn Welliver, who envisioned bringing joy to people through an ice cream truck. With the support of her parents, Chauncy and Sarah Welliver, Lemyn's idea materialized into Lem's Pops. SPOKESMAN.COM

The Welliver family plays integral roles in the business:

Lemyn Welliver: As the inspiration behind Lem's Pops, Lemyn serves treats and contributes creative ideas.

Chauncy Welliver: A former heavyweight boxer known as the "Hillyard Hammer," Chauncy follows the ice cream truck and acts as their security detail.

Sarah Welliver: Sarah drives the ice cream truck and manages the business operations, handling logistics and executive decisions, while also showing Lemyn key points of entreprenuership.

The ice cream truck, a 1993 Subaru Sambar imported from Japan, is distinctively wrapped in Tiffany-blue vinyl with lemon-yellow accents, reflecting the brand's cheerful theme. The menu features a selection of the classic treats, including Drumsticks, Fudge Bars, Orange Creamsicles, ice cream sandwiches, and bomb pops. SPOKESMAN.COM

Lem's Pops operates primarily in Spokane and is hirable for private parties. They also participates in local events, aiming to spread happiness within the community. The business has been well-received, with plans to continue and expand its presence in the future.
