Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Article is meaningless because name was changed from original. Now, due to policies, entire article must be re-written in a way which makes it nonsensical, non supportable and completely meaningless.

Article Creation Guidelines

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contributing_to_Wikipedia#Article_creation_and_notability

"In short, the topic of an article must have already been the subject of publication in reliable sources, such as books published by major publishing houses, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals and websites that meet the same requirements as reputable print-based sources".


 * Topic of original article -> Marijuana dispensary
 * Title of original article -> Marijuana dispensary

Notable sources used include well known periodicals, news broadcasts, and regulatory governmental bodies. --Potguru (talk) 20:12, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Cause of contention
Some users believe that every occurrence of the word marijuana, on wikipedia, must be replaced with the word cannabis. There is no consensus on this issue and the last useful discussion on the topic was more than 6 years ago when there were only a handful of marijuana dispensaries in the world. Now there are nearly one thousand in Colorado alone. --Potguru (talk) 20:15, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Basic Argument
There is no reference material demonstrating the existence of a thing called a cannabis dispensary. These stores are called marijuana dispensaries by their owners, users, regulators, visitors, news media. Because wikipedia requires article bodies use the same terminology as the article header the article is forced to become meaningless with the forced name change. --Potguru (talk) 20:19, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Requested resolution
The article must be restored to its original name space "marijuana dispensary". --Potguru (talk) 20:18, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
