- 3.1 Napa Valley wineries (incomplete list)

[edit] Start of splinter article

I splinter off the wine section from the main Napa County article because there is quite a bit of wine specific info that can be added (such as history) that would overwhelm the main article on the county. I copied the lead paragraph from the article for now but I can see it being rewritten as this article grows. Agne 01:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tremendous work on the article

It was splintered less then a week ago and it has already taken bloom into a really nice article. Great work! However, it does need a healthy dose of references and in-line cites. (I'll see what I can help with in a few days). I also think we need to remove the list of Napa Wineries. We may want to make it a separate article List of Napa Valley Wineries or limit the list in the article to only those with a Wikipedia page. Better still would be a category.

[edit] Moved from article

The list has gotten huge and is becoming a burden on the article. At its worse, it is borderline spam and POV advertising for the wineries listed. By its very nature of being incomplete, you are expressing a POV in the wineries that are included versus those that are excluded. Secondly, the notability of some of these wineries are questionable--especially for the ones that don't even have their own wikipedia article. I would strongly encourage the creation as category that could be attached to the wikipedia article of this page and of the wineries or at the very least, a list that can be linked to.
