Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of wineries and vineyards in Maine
I will not !vote about List of wineries and vineyards in Maine specifically at this time, due to |being the creator and principle editor of that article, but I would like to comment... This article specifically was, for the most part, copied and based off the other lists like List of Oregon wineries and vineyards.  When I created this list, I was doing so to get the information organized, because there was very little information about Maine wine, and no information about the wineries in Maine at the time.  The external links were added as references that each of the wineries were actually in business, and actively making wine.  The intention was to then create an article for each of the wineries on the list.  I also created the categories for this project (:Category:Maine wineries and :Category:Maine wine).  This was not done to create a linkfarm, or to advertise anything, it was done with the intention of creating encyclopedic content on a wine-making region that Wikipedia did not have any information about.  I somewhat lost interest in the project when I was bugged by |bad faith editors, and the first article I created for the list was deleted, and unfortunately, it has sat unchanged since... As I see it, it does not violate any specific policy ( included, as vague as it is) anymore than half the other lists out there (I know, ), and is a well organized list of articles that have yet to be created.  I also did some work on List of wineries in Ohio, removing the entries that did not have a reference, following the same thought process I was using for the Maine list
— NONE, NONE
