[edit] "Notable" producers are being laundry lists

Anons keep adding to these lists of "notable" producers using each type of closure. I think these lists should be removed entirely for two reasons:

They attract a lot of attention from people who want to promote their winery, diluting their overall significance.
As time goes on and synthetic closures become more and more common, this information will be less and less interesting or notable. We are encouraged to avoid putting information into articles that is liable to change significantly with time, and I think these lists are examples of this because their notability is only relevant until synthetic closures become the norm (which is rapidly happening).

Any objections to me going ahead and deleting all the lists from the article? — Saxifrage ✎ 00:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

That makes a lot of sense. I would be for the removal. Agne 07:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Took 2 months but that area is cleaned. Agne 06:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
