Keep - Seems like an obviously notable topic to me (see here in particular). Any editorial issues such as a lack of references are dealt with via editing, not deletion. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:36, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Lack of references doesn't equate to lack of notability here.--Milowent (talk) 14:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is an editing issue not a deletion issue. This is a notable topic and should be kept. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 15:14, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article is notable and relevant, in the developed world who has not heard or consumed instant rice at some point, televised documentaries have devoted airtime to this phenomenon.--Jemesouviens32 (talk) 15:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Passes WP:N. Joe Chill (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A little research before nominating it for AFD would have shown that numerous books have had significant coverage of it, such as [1]. It is also a major portion of the rice market in many countries. Minute Rice has been sold widely since the 1940's, and has its own article. You might consider merging the individual brands into this article, along with Uncle Ben's and Rice-A-Roni. But that is not the purpose of AFD. Edison (talk) 23:23, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
