Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of wineries and vineyards in Maine
I never really expected an ''en masse'' "delete" decision for all 8 articles. I decided to put the whole lot up for AfD because I knew no matter which individual list article I could put up, someone would point to the other articles and their sorry shape as a  defense. In talking with other  members, the hope is that the closing admin will look at the individual articles and delete the ones that are the more glaring violations of  and  while providing some rational for how the remaining articles are salvageable according to Wikipedia policies. Unfortunately the majority of the "Keep" comments so far has made little rational defense for how any individual article falls in line with current policies and guidelines and no one has made a policy based defense for keeping the entire lot. As for a rationale for deleting the whole lot-they all fail  and  to some extent but, admittedly, to different degrees of severity. The only discouraging outcome is a 30 second "no consensus" type closing. Whatever the outcome is, as long as there is some tangible policy based rationale giving by the admin for the salvageable articles then  will be able to improve the creation and management of these types of articles on Wikipedia in the future. Appreciate your time
