}} Hi! My name is Edward, I work for Golin and represent our client Rockstar (drink).
Due to the above, I will be making requests on the Talk page for ways to improve the article.
For my first request, I would like to discuss the content in the Corporate governance subsection of the Criticism section.
As it currently stands, this information is poorly sourced (either to press releases or sources not meeting this site's reliability standards), outdated (does not include resolutions to certain events) or irrelevant (information gets a bit off topic and is better suited for the subject's Wikipedia page rather than the Rockstar drink one).
Because of the above, I would like to present the following: First, delete this subsection as a whole. Second, rewrite the content and wrap it into the History section in a way that is more on topic and does not use press releases. See below:
- In 2009, prior to PepsiCo’s ownership of Rockstar Energy, it was revealed that founder Russell Weiner is the son of radio host Michael Savage, and Janet Weiner, Savage's wife, served as the Rockstar Energy and Savage Productions Chief Financial Officer. This sparked protests and boycotts, which Rockstar Energy responded to by taking action.[1][2]
The above should be placed in the History section in a way that it fits within the timeline. This would mean above the paragraph that starts with, "Production and distribution for the..." and below the paragraph that starts with, "By 2007, Rockstar was one of..."
Thanks to editors reading and weighing this request to make the article more accurate and neutral. Please let me know if there are any questions. EC for Golin (talk) 14:59, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Hello! I was looking at this Talk page and saw your recent discussions about improving the article. I wanted to see if you had any interest in reviewing my proposal above for improving the content in the History section. Thanks! EC for Golin (talk) 20:11, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- You're on the right track here, but your proposed text is no good. "it was revealed" is weasely and so is "taking action" without saying what the action is. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:15, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Rockstar (drink) → Rockstar Energy – The current name of "Rockstar (drink)" gives the impression that this article is about the beverage and not the brand.
"Rockstar Energy" is the name of the brand specifically and what most people would recognize, as that is its common name.
Reliable news sites like CNBC and the Hill also refer to the brand as Rockstar Energy.[3][4]
