Smart Balance

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Quite unnotable, has no good references, sounds more like an advertisement for the product rather than an encyclopedic article. See also Articles for deletion/Smart Beat. QuidProQuo23 23:30, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable food product from a notable company. Satisfies WP:N by having substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources, as can be easily found at Google News archive . For example, see CNN.com, St. Petersburg Times , Business Wire , Knight-Ridder , The Virginian Pilot , Prepared Foods , Newsday , Motley Fool , Nutraceuticals World , New York Sun , LA Times , San Diego Union Tribune , Nutrition Action Healthletter , Daily Herald , and Palm Beach Post. Many more such sources in the news archive can be used to improve the article. Deletion is not a substitute for finding good sources and improving an article about a notable and encyclopedic product and company. Edison (talk) 23:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per Edison. Proxy User (talk) 00:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Do your reasearch. Highly notable, multiple mentions in reliable sources. Needs refs, but an article needing improvement isn't grounds for deletion.  Graymornings (talk) 02:22, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but rewrite. Clearly a notable company; clearly a terrible article. Timneu22 (talk) 03:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a rather popular brand in the supermarkets right now, just needs expansion. KleenupKrew (talk) 04:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
