The result was redirect to Marijuana. No clear merge consensus, so redirecting to allow later merging from the history subject to editorial consensus.  Sandstein  07:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Essay. Title may or may not be salvageable, but with this essay in place, I don't believe anyone will work on it. Better to have no article for now. delete - UtherSRG (talk) 15:09, 5 May 2011 (UTC) UtherSRG (talk) 15:09, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my delete suggestion and support Diego's merge. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:51, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an essay and merely presents the criteria showing inequal treatment via marijuana policy. No view from the author is include. Use of relevant sources produce this knowledge. Various media outlets portray the inequalities between users and enforcement. See New York Times, Huffington Post and the LA Times. Keep, noting cleanup. Am6015 (talk) 16:10, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also withdraw my keep suggestion and support Diego's merge. Am6015 (talk) 14:42, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete These are important issues, but I am confident (knowing WP) that they are well covered already in other articles. The author of this article should be encouraged to keep contributing. And to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:56, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The subject is suitable but as this stands it is original research. I didn't review the references but the work is remarkable, and as Steve Dufour mentioned there surely must be several places where a lot of this information would be useful, or even this same article if it is properly manufactured, so perhaps this could be userfied instead - frankieMR (talk) 23:55, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge The numerous sources seem reliable and redaction has good quality. Each section in this is good and well-sourced content for Wikipedia, they just don't belong all together under an article with title "Marijuana and Inequality". Move each section to the relevant article about Marijuana - History, prohibition, controversies... Diego Moya (talk) 00:38, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
