Acacia Winery

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable winery. (Yes, even though it is in the Napa Valley.) The only reference is a wine encyclopedia, and I could not find significant coverage in a search - just Yelp-type reviews and tourism websites. (Searching note: its name is actually Acacia Vineyard.)

 * Comment Right on, whatever works. I wrote it a while ago, after finding that encyclopedia, I wrote a few other articles about some wineries, and it was during a time when I was still figuring out the jist of writing articles about companies/organizations. So it's all good either way. I almost forgot I had written it! SarahStierch (talk) 23:12, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG because of a few dedicated writeups about the winery, and an entry in the A Companion to California Wine: An Encyclopedia of Wine and Winemaking. Binksternet (talk) 23:36, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * New Classic Winemakers of California: Conversations with Steve Heimoff, page 21. "Acacia's reputation in the early '80s was glorious. It was one of the first Pinot Noir 'cult' wineries, and helped to pioneer Carneros [the wine region]."
 * California Wine Country, page 98, about the founding of Acacia.
 * Romantic Getaways in San Francisco & the Bay Area, page 365. Two paragraphs about the winery.
 * Pacific Pinot Noir: A Comprehensive Winery Guide for Consumers and Connoisseurs, pages 1 through 3. Two-and-a-half pages dedicated to the story of Acacia.
 * North American Pinot Noir, page 196. Two pages of dedicated coverage.

 * Merge to Diageo. Acacia was once a notable winery but now it is just one of the many wine brands in the Diageo portfolio. AgneCheese/Wine 06:33, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - Meets WP:GNG per the sources provided above by User:Binksternet. No objection to a merge, but deletion would be inappropriate due to the depth of coverage the winery has received. NorthAmerica1000 13:43, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment The sources found by Binksternet are impressive, and if it used to be notable, then it still is. If someone will add a few of these sources to the article, I will withdraw my nomination. --MelanieN (talk) 14:47, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I understand 's point about a possible merge, but the Diageo article (at least in its current structure) doesn't readily accommodate specific content about its assorted notable wineries.  As others have stated here, Acacia was/is significant enough to merit substantive coverage. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Nobody? Ok, I added a couple of Binksternet's references to the article myself, and I withdraw the nomination. (To me there are two possible successful outcomes from an AfD nomination: either the article gets deleted or redirected, or it gets improved.) --MelanieN (talk) 23:01, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
