Contested prod. I see no claim for notability in the article; single ref is a passing (one-para long) mention in Businessweek. As long as the article is in the current shape, it has no place on Wikipedia - we are not a listing of minor products found on store shelves, and so far, this is what the article looks like.

 * Keep. The past and current problems with the article are all fixable. There are sources out there and a couple of us have set to adding them. The product/line has not only been slapped onto a NASCAR ride, but it's gotten international coverage. It got quite a bit of coverage just based on the NASCAR stuff and while notability isn't inherited, the articles I've found that mention the NASCAR ride all focus predominantly on the product itself. What's on the article now is just a fraction of what's out there. The main problem is sorting through and picking out the best sources of the bunch at this point, as we can afford to be more selective.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:01, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I would, however, recommend making this into an article about the brand as a whole rather than specifically the butt paste. It'd be easier to have all the info in one place rather than two separate articles.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:07, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. I deprodded this with an explanation that it is a well-known product with many sources evident at GNews.  The AfD was filed less than 30 minutes later, while I was still putting together my first edit adding some of these sources.  In the meantime another editor has also began adding sources.  As I write this the article now has 11 sources, with more to come.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 08:06, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am glad to see the article improved, and I'll be looking forward to the point I can withdraw this nom. Per Tokyogirl79, I'd suggest reconsidering the scope of the article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:03, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep NASCAR Busch and NASCAR Nationwide sponsor. Star767 (talk) 18:21, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - May look like a poor article, but looking at WP:UGLY, the errors can be fixed, and being used as a NASCAR sponsor (I don't see why it was OK'd though, especially with a rather stupid product name) does give it some notability. But then again, refocusing the scope of the page is also a possibility.  Zappa  O  Mati   19:43, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per all the reasons given above. Also, I must say the timing of this AfD was pretty bad given that this article was on the main page as a link in a DYK entry. At least it wasn't the bolded article in the DYK hook, but given the title, it is probably one most people will click (like me). ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 20:17, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the timing was the best - the more people learn about how Wikipedia works, the better. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 00:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. At this point the article has been expanded sufficiently that the nom can be withdrawn. Thanks to all who helped to save this article! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 00:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
