Speedy Keep The nomination does not provide a reason to delete and so there's no case to answer. Also, the nomination suggests an alternative to deletion – redirection – for which deletion is neither necessary nor appropriate. Andrew D. (talk) 17:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It would seem to me an article about decriminalization of marijuana serves as separate purpose than legality of cannabis, and in any event, the nominator hasn't given sufficient explanation as to why he thinks the deletion/redirection should happen anyway... — Hunter Ka hn 18:08, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, AfD is not the place to discuss redirects and merges. (Also, for the nominator's future reference, deletion and redirection are two different things.) I was considering closing this discussion as speedy keep per the above discussion, but decided to err on the side of caution as this is only a couple of hours old. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 18:44, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: They're related but nevertheless distinct topics. Cosmic Sans (talk) 00:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and convert to a WP:BCA. No full title matches so not a DAB page, but just the sort of broad-concept article a reader might be looking for. Narky Blert (talk) 10:27, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy procedural keep Nominator presented no rationale for deletion, nor even wants it deleted. Nate • (chatter) 17:01, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Per Hunter Kahn and others. petrarchan47 คุ ก 19:00, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
