[edit] Indoor Cannabis cultivation

Indoor Cannabis cultivation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Wikipedia is not a how to guide Alex Bakharev 11:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. MER-C 11:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: Too much of a how-to guide to have on Wikipedia. If it was made into an article about in-door cannabis cultivation (its history, notable growers, etc) and a lot of the how-to stuff was cut back, then maybe, but I can't see that happening. J Milburn 11:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a howto. I also would like to echo my concerns for containing this information on WP due to the primary audience problem (see the AFD for Outdoor Cannabis cultivation for my concerns). --Dennisthe2 15:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - This isn't remotely a how-to or recipe, but a technical description of a process; normally I'd support a merge to the main article, but that would make it way too long. Dennisthe2, if you're concerned about describing a possibly illegal act on Wikipedia, you probably shouldn't read Heroin manufacturing, Ricin manufacture or Nuclear weapon design in that case. In any case, it is not necessarily illegal to grow cannabis, even in the US, but only to grow/sell it without a licence; it's farmed commercially worldwide under licence (mainly to make canvas and for fish bait). - iridescenti (talk to me!) 15:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with article above - See above AfD for full comment, but basically... I propose a merge, with Indoor Cannabis cultivation to create a general Cannabis cultivation article (currently a disambig. for these two and another article) with redirects from these two. ◄Zahakiel► 20:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Comment - Changing my vote to Keep due to the discussion below regarding the reason for splitting. ◄Zahakiel► 16:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep.This article includes a lot of interesting information. You must consult with biologists before deleting it.Biophys 21:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Verifiable and notable. Although the style could be improved it isn't simply a how-to manual. See (see the AFD for Outdoor Cannabis cultivation for my response to legal concerns). TimVickers 23:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It's encyclopedic and informative and therefore suitable material for Wikipedia. Xanucia 23:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep.as above. The existence of the two articles is justified by their length, most of which is specific to the individual method. DGG 23:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Unsure why nomination was made, doesn't appear to make reference to any wikipedia policy I can find which allows for deletion. Cloveoil 12:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, No Merge - I split the articles from Cannabis cultivation for reasons stated on the talk page of Cannabis (drug) cultivation. [Mαc Δαvιs] (How's my driving?) ❖ 21:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep No reason to delete; maybe move all or part of the article to Wikibooks.--dannycas 00:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep but cleanup so that it's not a howto. The topic itself is quite clearly one about which a featured article could be written eventually (although I'd bet good money it never will!) Pascal.Tesson 19:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Can't see the reason for deletion. Adamantios 21:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm pretty sure this information is actually illegal to propagate in the US. Jtrainor 19:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Comment It's definitely not. It's not illegal to grow cannabis in the US, provided you have a licence (there's even a US Government sponsored cannabis plantation at the University of Mississippi), let alone talk about it. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
