I first nominated this article on 30 November 2007, as it was unsourced and the article did not assert the notability of the subject. The article has not been modified to any great extent since then, so I am relisting on the same grounds. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 11:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, I must first say I am NOT a pot smoker :-), But having read up on this "strain" it appears that this was one of the first hybrids of cannabis that has "shown no signs of inbreeding depression after decades of incestuous crosses"[1]. Although I am no expert of the subject, I have added some references. It really needs to be improved by a pot-head expert... :-) Fosnez (talk) 11:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment - the strain may well be notable, but my point is that the article doesn't assert this. There are a lot of marijuana stubs around, and I wonder if they shouldn't all just be grouped into a single Marijuana strains article. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 15:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    If you agree the strain is notable, then the article should not be deleted, and sources should be looked for. DGG (talk) 19:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    As you said, there seem to be a lot of strains around, having them all in the one article would make it large and ungainly. I'm not expert on botanical classification, so I'm not shore how it works, but if you look at Poppy all the different strains seem to have their own articles.

  • Delete lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. No objection to merging into a Marijuana strains article per JediLofty. Addhoc (talk) 14:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

The topic is notable in hemp research, botany research and in cannabis drug culture. --Rigby27 (talk) 18:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
