Page tags state that any unreferenced material may be challenged and removed - the whole article has been utterly unreferenced since the placement of the tag more than 5 years ago. The article has been edited twice since 2011 and nothing meaningful has been added whatsoever. Since the whole article is unreferenced, I challenge it per the tags and instructions, and suggest its removal. CharlieTheCabbie| Yack to the driver 00:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

 * References, albeit indirect, are provided: the PubChem entry is sufficient evidence, I think. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 01:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I do not consider PubChem an appropriate reference. It just says the drug exists. The article claims it's a barbituate derivative, which PubChem does not reference. It says lots of different names for the drug, but nothing which says what it is. CharlieTheCabbie| Yack to the driver 01:41, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * For references to more in-depth literature, see . Sources have to exist for an article to be kept; they do not have to be in the article. (Also, I don't know much about chemistry, but isn't it self-evident that it is a barbiturate derivative?  הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 01:54, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Poor article doesn't mean that the subject doesn't deserve an article. I agree that it needs to be expanded. There are no articles on Pubmed about this specific barbiturate, but it might be used in veterinary medicine. JFW &#124; T@lk  21:31, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
