The result was delete. Even one of the "keep" !votes describes this as a directory. NOTDIR therefore carries the day. Randykitty (talk) 15:21, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Easily passes WP:LISTN as there are books such as Ohio's Lake Erie Wineries and Ohio's Canal Country Wineries. See WP:BEFORE, WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, &c. Andrew D. (talk) 11:06, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ohio wine may be a notable topic but that doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to list these non-notable local businesses just because a book does. Telling me to do more research before the nomination has no bearing on the article; I'm well aware that someone else has made this list too. Do you have an alternative to deletion besides just keeping it? Reywas92^Talk 00:59, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the sources, too bad the name of the article is "List of wineries in Ohio" not "History of wine in Ohio". This is nothing more than a directory listing.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:07, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic passes WP:LISTN This is a worthwhile and useful list for readers. Makes navigating the encyclopaedia easier. WP:Not paper, so what is the issue again? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:44, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How is it worthwhile and useful?? It is a sea of red links with the occasional external link and with GPS co-ordinates. It's a directory. Ajf773 (talk) 08:34, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is useful. It is a list with links and with the occasional external link and with GPS co-ordinates. It's a directory. Usefulness should be viewed from the perspective of our readers. To be sure, it can and should be improved, but its usefulness is in the eyes of our readers, not you or me. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:42, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consider it to be a "to do" list. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:13, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per WP:NOTDIR. If wineries on the list were themselves notable and if they already had Wikipedia pages this list might be fine. As it stands, however, there's only one entry in the list with a Wikipedia page and it is a stub. The entire "Lists of wineries in the United States by political division" seems a little sketchy in general; most of the wineries in the articles have no Wikipedia pages. Even the title seems misnamed, since "political division" does not clearly indicate "state" or "geographical division." Userqio (talk) 06:52, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Ohio wine, this information would be better there. It would expand that article with useful information and still provide a place for those interested to find articles to start. --valereee (talk) 15:09, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
