[edit] Re: deletion of Ironstone Vineyards
Hi, I deleted Ironstone Vineyards because articles that don't assert significance can be deleted at any time - see WP:CSD#A7. All the page said was "The Ironstone Vineyards are a family-owned vineyard in historic Murphys, California in the midst of the Sierra Nevada mountains." Feel free to re-create it as long as it claims significance (and it's preferable to include sources). Or I can restore it on a subpage of yours if you want.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Ironstone Vineyards
A tag has been placed on Ironstone Vineyards, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 06:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ironstone Vineyards
Hey. First, thank you for improving this page. I just wanted to give you a heads-up on references. If you take a look at this edit, you can see how I turned your links into references. I use the <ref></ref> tags, and inside that, I use one of the templates listed at WP:CIT. References can be a bit daunting at first, but I encourage you to read about them and use them in your editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 17:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
