Comment. Somewhat to my surprise (I guess I haven't read enough issues of High Times) I find that there are some references to this album in reliable sources, notably a detailed 1998 CNN article entitled "Singing the praises of pot on 'Hempilation 2'". The GNews search shows a number of other references to this album, but more of them seem to focus more on its predecessor, Hempilation: Freedom Is NORML, so maybe a good editing result would be to merge this topic as a new section of the existing article about the first album. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:04, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm...now I'm considering withdrawal for a week or so... if the article gets better. The main problem is it is not written well, and no refrencing. Should have proded it. Bar Code Symmetry (Talk) 00:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge. I added a couple of links to album reviews and an explanatory note, and put the track listings into their own section. Not really sure if it merits its own freestanding page, or merger into the first compilation's page--certainly many or all of the artists on the record are notable: Willie Nelson, Dar Williams, George Clinton, etc. Page was only created 9/30, so it might be nice to give the original author a chance to build it up a bit more. Either way, I'm willing to move contents over if "merge" is the decision, but only if that's the decision. Can anyone tell me what normal procedure is in that case? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 00:39, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
