Draft:Medical Marijuana Doctor


This is not a valid topic because the term is invented, and this advocacy page agrees there is no such thing as a Medical Marijuana Doctor, just doctors willing to prescribe/dispense pot. Like saying there are Codine Doctors or Birth Control Doctors. This was moved out of mainspace and should be judged on mainspace criteria. Legacypac (talk) 06:26, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nominator, and as not going anywhere except to the bit bucket. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Having declined this draft at least twice when it was in draftspace, I am shocked that it made it to the mainspace, seeing as it was poorly written and masquerading as a guide to doctors that will prescribe you weed. There is nothing notable about the term itself. If anything to provide alternatives to deletion, perhaps a redirect to Medical cannabis in general. That being said, the original editor won't stop submitting this for review, so we may be better off just deleting. Bkissin (talk) 18:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Searchers are likely looking for a directory of doctors, which Wikipedia is not, or information on what doctors can prescribe it (anyone who's willing and is authorized), which is covered in Medical_cannabis. Those looking for which physician associations can look at Medical_cannabis. Also the all-caps imply there's an occupation called Medical Marijuana Doctor or MMD. If there's enough information about doctors who specialize in Medical marijuana, then the article can be written with that focus. But the article currently is more like a how-to guide to getting a doctor to prescribe it for a patient with "You should" language. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:34, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and AngusWOOF. This falls into several categories of WP:NOT and looks like a poorly edited WebMD page. Any relevant information which we actually should cover should be added to Medical cannabis, this is a WP:NEOLOGISM. Nathan2055talk - contribs 07:57, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
