List of wineries in Santa Rosa, California[edit]

Violation of WP:NOT#DIRECTORY and an unneeded list that only serves the purpose of turning Wikipedia into a wineguide. Santa Rosa is part of the Sonoma County AVA which has an external link to the listing of wineries in the country which covers any encyclopedic value this article may have.

'Delete per WP:NOT and WP:WINEGUIDE. These sorts of articles are rather pointless. Anti V Man 04:41, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Sonoma County wineries. DHowell 04:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rediect to Sonoma County wineries per DHowell, fair enough. RFerreira 00:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sonoma County wineries but only after merging. I'm cleaning up the article there. However, the format of this list is jarring and nonstandard even if clever, and should be discarded in favor of a simple list format. I found at least one non-linked winery on this list that has an article, so at best this list is outdated. Just glean what info we can here before deleting.

Done. I've merged the only thing in this article that isn't already in Sonoma County Wineries, the mention of J Winery. Most of the links turn out to be duds or inappropriate external links. The mention that Santa Rosa is in the middle of Wine Country and is heavily involved in the wine economy, as well as its location, is already in the Santa Rosa article. So at this point I've changed my vote to delete / redirect. Wikidemo 23:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
