Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...its an important company in the Canadian cannabis space and the page is still being setup. It's currently incomplete. --Tokyosmokio (talk) 14:00, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Sorry for removing the speedy deletion notice. I'm new and misread something Tokyosmokio (talk) 15:35, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All good. To be fair, you have made some good progress on this article. I'm going to go ahead and remove the speedy myself. StewdioMACK (talk) 15:41, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you! Tokyosmokio (talk) 15:44, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Suggestions

[edit]

I learned that I should not edit the page directly and suggest edits here. Please make the following edits to the article. “Operations” can go either before or after the “History” part. I am also adding plain text version to clarify suggested edits. -- Tokyosmokio (talk) 14:38, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additional question

[edit]

Could you please clarify, is the company now known as Hiku Brands, or Hiku Brands Company Limited - or is there even a difference? Please advise.  Spintendo      16:08, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for the edits. the company is known as Hiku Brands Company Ltd. Tokyosmokio (talk) 13:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I think Hiku Brands can be merged with the Canopy Growth Wikipedia page. Since acquiring the company, Canopy Growth has seemingly wound Hiku and absorbed its brands. hiku.com now directs to Canopy Growth's website, and Canopy Growth lists brands gain through the Hiku acquisition alongside their other brands without mentioning Hiku. https://www.canopygrowth.com/brands/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bikebagel (talk • contribs) 14:20, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
