 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Extremely marginal notability, if any. Jamesx12345 15:16, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 * See accounts Special:Contributions/Aliespills, Special:Contributions/Melly224, Special:Contributions/Hippo95321, Special:Contributions/Tinafab, Special:Contributions/JasonRogers86, Special:Contributions/Melissaad, all of which have editing histories entirely related to Dhar Mann. The WeGrow Store is undoubtedly notable, but as was discussed in the previous deletion nomination, he does not inherit this right to an article. Jamesx12345 15:25, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 *  Weak delete Subject does not appear to have garnered RS coverage for anything except his embezzlement of public funds. As such he seems to be covered by WP:BLP1E. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:23, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Changing !vote to reflect added sources establishing notability. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I added multiple references about him to the article; they are from national sources like U.S. News, Huffington Post, and even the Daily Mail. His notability comes from his role as a "pot impressario" or "ganjapreneur", and it is specifically about him, not just WeGrow. He also got local coverage for his conviction, plus a flurry of international press about his recent engagement to a starlet; that coverage would not make him notable by itself, but it supplements the notability he already had. --MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. After reviewing the history: I see that when this was AfD'd previously, I argued "keep" and added multiple reliable sources (all different from the ones I just added). All of them were subsequently deleted by a Special Purpose Account that apparently wanted to remove all reference to marijuana from the article, and remake it into a promotional vehicle for his proposed new venture Jet Set Life. Nice try, but that's not what he's notable for. --MelanieN (talk) 22:22, 13 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
