Sparkling 1917

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is WP:SPAM advertisement for a brand of Champagne. While the parent company might qualify for notability under WP:CORP, this singular brand name does not. The edit history reveals that an anon IP apparently tied to the UK Distributor has been trying to incorporate more advertisement SPAM into various wine articles so the "Encyclopedic intent" of this article is pretty clear and in violation of WP:NOT. This particular brand is not notable for any significant contribution to the world of wine, in particular sparkling wine or Russian wine.

 * Delete or Radical stub. I can't judge the notability too easily, but certainly most of the content is not encyclopaedic/referenced. Also, there does appear to be a conflict of interest with the primary author and the topic of the article. Other self-added wine company articles have been speedied. --Limegreen 10:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sovetskoye Shampanskoye, which seems to be about the same or a closely related group of wineries; that article has some references and also discusses the EU appellation contrôlée issues. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 'Delete Russian imitation Champagne. I had thought it disappeared with the USSR. The general article for the stuff is indeed Sovetskoye Shampanskoye.  In general wine companies should not be speedied, and there would be a good case against speedies for individual brands, since some are indeed notable, and a prod will give the aficionados the chance to sort them out.

 * There was one sentence of mergeable content, and I have already added it into the main article. DGG 21:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
