As with StraussInTheHouse, the article fails WP:NCORP and it lacks reliable sources. Sheldybett (talk) 09:34, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:NCORP. Of the external links in the article, only this isn't dead and a further source search brings up nothing reliable, only blogs (1, 2).   SITH   (talk)   09:41, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: This is an article about an individual private post company which is one of many in New Zealand, and which does not seem to be notable in its own right. Perhaps it might make sense to have an article entitled Private posts in New Zealand or something similar to cover a general overview of the topic. --Xwejnusgozo (talk) 20:47, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: not only non-notable, but apparently not a registered private post either - see where it is not listed. Daveosaurus (talk) 02:41, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Neutral/Uncertain: The page hasn't been edited for ages and suffers from link-rot. There are more recent sources, e.g. a recent Canopy article on the International Wine Challenge site. Wine Post may be notable in philately due to its rarity and use for sending mail to Antarctic science stations; it would be nice to know whether/how much that's true. The trouble is, the whole thing seems to be the project of a chap who makes (allegedly quite good) wine in his back shed in Dunedin, from grapes he trucks in from Otago. Although he went to all the trouble of getting himself listed as the world's southernmost winery in Guinness World Records, it seems he's given up on several failed attempts at a website and just hangs out on Facebook. The only complete up-to-date catalogue of his stamps is on a fan's Blogger site; the self-published stamp catalogue only goes up to 2008 and can be found on Lulu next to a fantasy novel...—Jon (talk) 10:55, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: I prodded this back in February 2012 but an anonIP removed, and a few days later tagged it for no footnotes, notability and unreliable sources. Nothing sufficient has been done to resolve these issues in almost 7 years. It's about time to delete it. ww2censor (talk) 11:14, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
