Bias Vineyards (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Non-notable winery that fails WP:CORP. Article was prod'd on March 23rd with the prod removed by the article's creator who has edited very little else apart from this article and may have a conflict of interest with the subject matter. Despite repeated request on the article's Talk Page and the deprodder's talk page to provide sources and establish the article's notability in accordance to Wikipedia guidelines, the article still sits in its sorry state. That's probably because there is no grounds for notability to begin with. Bias Vineyards is a very small production winery whose wines are hard to get even within in Missouri and are available only at the wineries own shop and at a handful few "Missouri wine" stores. The average Wikipedia reader will never see or even hear about this wine, There is scarce mention of non-trivial writes ups or sources about the winery-819 ghits for "Bias Vineyards" with no g-news hits and 79 ghits for "Gruhlke Microbrewery" which the article claims makes this establishment unique as "Missouri's first vineyard-microbrewery". However, outside of the Wikipedia article, there is no reliable sources to back up that claim. The "regional awards" that the creator mentions in his edit summaries are essentially non-notable county fairs and even that is lacking reliable sources to back up those claims.

• Weak Delete - Reads like advertising, and is unsourced, hence no evidence of multiple non-trivial coverage in third-party sources to establish notability per WP:CORP. The regional awards might be evidence of notability, but these claims need to be sourced by the end of this AfD; otherwise delete. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 14:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wineries that don't sell much of their production outside of their wineries tend not to get the coverage that's needed to meet WP:CORP, and I don't really see that this article is any different. Regional awards are really not as impressive as they sound. In many cases these medals represent nothing more than a few critics giving the wine a reasonable score. Dozens of wines can win Bronze,Silver or Gold medals in any category. It's similar to winning a ribbon at a state science fair. --- The Bethling^(Talk) 08:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
