Southwind Vineyard & Winery

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to meet criteria for notability. Local winery, no significant coverage in independent media. Wkharrisjr (talk) 12:38, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep This winery is discussed in Sal Westrich's New Jersey Wine, and there have been a number of articles about it in regional newspapers and magazines. I'm not done writing the article yet, but I will attach the additional references.  The business notability standard states that "evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability." Besides the Westrich book, Southwind Vineyard is discussed in The Press of Atlantic City, South Jersey Times, and Edible Jersey. DavidinNJ (talk) 13:40, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep There are sources here and the addition of the material described above will further improve the article with references that further demonstrate notability. New Jersey is not the first state most people think of when fine wines come to mind, but a winery on three acres producing 600 cases a year is probably approaching the lower threshold of notability.

 * Keep/Oppose Deletion mentioned in books, mentioned in several regional newspapers--which meets the notability requirements of WP:CORP.--ColonelHenry (talk) 13:57, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly passes WP:CORP, it is frequently discussed in both local and national media. hmssolent \You rang? ship's log 14:40, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Large keep. This winery is indeed notable, passes criteria due to it featured in various independent news media sources. I strongly disagree with nominator. Tinton5 (talk) 20:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
