Proposed merge with Valerie Corral edit

Corral's notability is tied up in WAMM. It would make sense to provide a single article, rather than having some details here and some details there and quite a lot of duplication. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:07, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

This is entirely backwards. Valerie Corral is the notable entity, not WAMM, and the majority of the article is composed of her activism, not the organization. Viriditas (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Maybe start an article on her? --Malerooster (talk) 18:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Maybe review the page history? This is the article on her. It was merged into this one. Her notability is not "tied up" in WAMM. Viriditas (talk) 18:41, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Things have doubtless changed in the nine years since my comment above (e.g., WAMM officially no longer exists), but at the moment, pretty much everything after "WAMM became the first medical marijuana collective to be granted non-profit status in the United States" is about the organization, not about the founder herself.

Valerie Corral was notable for using the medical necessity defense in the legal sphere before starting WAMM. In other words, her notability as a person predates WAMM. Her work, as described in the biography, stems from her original objective. Further, her work goes beyond WAMM and into coalition building and lobbying for legislation. I will be trying to fix this in the next few weeks. Part of the problem is that I was on Wikipedia sabbatical from 2016 to 2019[1] so I wasn't aware of the move or the changes. The other part of the problem is some of the most relevant sources are pre-internet digitization (1992-1995), and aren't as widely accessible or available.
