Notable Wineries

I listed a few of the wines that I personally believe are notable but feel free to edit. I think ideally the list (for an article of this scope) should be around 5 wineries--especially when a concrete guideline on what makes a Winery notable hasn't been established.

It's OK for a list of wineries to include those which aren't notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. That said, I'd limit it to vineyards which meet any of the following:
- Significant production (how much)?
- Major awards or positive press from notable wine critics
- Have their own AVA (I know, this is marketing, but if the BATF thinks a wine is notable, I won't argue...)

In a list, I'm not opposed to being exhaustive rather than exclusive. The main thing is to ensure that all entries and be verified from independent sources; a criterion which somebody growing grapes in their backyard garden and selling bottles of the stuff at the local farmer's market might not be able to satisfy. (And Oregon has plenty of those, let me tell you...)

OSU experimental vineyard

I don't know if this would fit into the article, but Woodhall Vineyard is an experimental vineyard of Oregon State University near Alpine, Oregon. The link is currently broken, but here is the cached version of the history of the vineyard: [1] [2]. Katr67 18:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I suggested we merge List of Oregon wineries and vineyards to this article. Valfontis (talk) 22:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge as nominator--the list has been pruned down to lifelessness, per consensus, more or less, is a spam magnet, and doesn't seem to be able to be maintained. None of these would be good arguments in an AfD, but this isn't one. If list incubated in this article grows to the point of needing to be split again, that would of course be great. Valfontis (talk) 22:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support because we can easily integrate a short list into this. We don't need to have a separate article listing the wineries when this article is supposed to be all about wine in Oregon. Furthermore, I completely agree that the list alone is a spam magnet, as well as a non-neutral POV playground and a big target for advertising and promotion. A merge would make all that a smaller aspect of this article. Jsayre64 (talk) 00:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support as a great way to salvage the useful parts of the list article and put content where it is readily found. The list also makes a nice enhancement to this article. I not sure it will be better patrolled here, but I suspect that the spammers on the list article saw how weedy it was and didn't think they were making it worse. Here, it should be more obvious that there is a certain minimum standard of article information content and density. —EncMstr (talk) 06:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
