Draft:Have a Heart (dispensary chain)


There are two problems with this page. First, it reads promotionally. It isn't necessary, for instance, to provide a Mission Statement in an encyclopedic draft (unless the Mission is contentious). This could be dealt with, but would not leave much. Second, this article as written does not establish corporate notability. The references are not independent,and the objective appears to be to promote the company rather than to describe it neutrally. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:10, 9 August 2018 (UTC) ->


 * Deleted the "mission statement" section... Not sure how to deal with "corporate notability" . . . I've been looking at other (smaller and less famous) dispensary wiki pages and am not sure what more I should put about HAH CC . . Any help would be welcome! Thanks!

 * Keep and let the AFC clock run its course. I moved it from main space to draft space because I felt this had potential. I daresay that most company articles written by COI editors in draft space exist for the purpose of publicity or promotion. However, every once in a while, one of them writes a decent article about a notable topic. Whether this article will be one of those, I cannot say, but there is no harm in keeping it, especially since the creator (who has disclosed he's an attorney specializing in cannabis) has made good-faith efforts to improve the article since I moved it to draft. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:27, 9 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Comments by BenHKingESQ:
 * There are a lot of articles about legal commercial cannabis businesses with even less factual information and less sources. I know I seem to be focused on Have a Heart CC, right now, but it's because I just moved to Seattle about 2 months ago and they are literally the best (in terms of products, knowledge, and community involvement) dispensary company around right now. They are pretty famous locally and among the cannabis subculture. I'd really like to get them an article-up and running. They have 5 dispensaries in Washington, 1 open in Hawaii, and are opening-up others in California, Iowa, and Oregon. I'm a pretty big fan of the company, so I'd like to keep trying to work with this until I can get a page running. Other, smaller businesses have wiki pages that are not flagged for deletion, so I would really like to get this one up to standard too. BenHKingESQ (talk) 21:50, 9 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - I saw this listed as an Article in Article Space and was nominating it for AFD, but it seems that it is in draft space and has been nominated for MFD.  I withdraw the MFD nomination unless someone else wants to be the nominator.  If someone else nominates, I will !vote depending on strength of arguments.  Withdraw this nomination.
