This article is about an old product with little controversy or historical signifigance. Lifelonglego (talk) 23:21, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added several inline references. 2.1 million pounds were used in the US annually during the 1980s and early 1990s, but it's now on the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory and the European Commission de-authorized it in 2008 (see article for refs). It should maybe be moved to Propachlor, its active ingredient, with a redirect from Ramrod. A search on propachlor gets about 3,340 hits in Gscholar [1]. Propachlor in US government sites gets 320 unique Web hits. [2] Novickas (talk) 16:45, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Propachlor with redirect from original article name, as suggested. I think the refs provided show adequate notability. Plvekamp (talk) 02:46, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I didn't realize it was a historically significant herbicide. --Lifelonglego (talk) 02:06, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
