 * 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  &#124; Talk 13:36, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lack of references doesn't equate to lack of notability here.--Milowent (talk) 14:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

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)
