[edit] Bogo Wines

Bogo Wines (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Speedy declined due to vague assertions of notability. However currently reads like an advert. Google hits seem to be poor. Fuller discussion please Pedro :  Chat  11:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Weak Delete - I get 1600+ Google hits with "Bogo Wines" -wikipedia -bogowines.com. Seems to have been talked about quite a bit in stem cell research communities, but got little press coverage. I added a citation. Into The Fray T/C 11:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, albeit weakly. A winery is the sort of business that should face relatively lower notability guidelines: they are businesses with permanent physical plants, and whose products will remain in cellars even if the maker folds; they sell consumer products that receive fair amounts of independent reviews. That, and the odd political and charitable activity of this winery, means I am willing to give this the benefit of a doubt. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as the original CSD nominator. I don't think that being a winery should allow for lower notability criteria. There are plenty of companies that go out of business and their products are still in people's homes. I do agree that if there were more independent reviews of the wine then there would be a better case for notability. However, all the news links are about their charitable giving. In my eyes, the organizations they give to and the gimmick behind their giving doesn’t make them notable enough to stand on that alone.Geozapf 21:54, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. By "lower notability criteria" I guess what I mean is that they aren't a consulting firm unable to describe their work without resorting to emptily abstract buzzwords and TLAs. There are plenty of independent magazines reviewing wines, and if no one can point to them, perhaps it should go. The article itself says that some larger winery actually makes the wine under this label, and perhaps that is the article that should exist. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
