Stemula
I'm afraid your article for Stemula has been nominated for deletion because it seems unlikely to be about a subject that has achieved notability outside a very local environment. Wikiquote collects quotes from people and creative works with notability demonstrated by references in the press or other publications. You are welcome to place quotes on your user page, User:Melaniehalliden, but please also note that Wikiquote should not be used to promote personal projects, or to be used solely as a personal webpage.

You might also note that the purpose of your carefully worded second sentence in the current article is negated by your choice of username. Two minutes of web searching uncovered quite a bit of additioanl information that I'm sure you don't want available. It's all too common that young people aren't aware just how easy it is for unsavory folks to collect this information, and unlike MySpace, Wikiquote does not have any protection mechanisms in place because it is not designed for social networking. All adult users (which you appear to be) have sole responsibility for protecting their personal info. I highly recommend that you remove this information from the article before it gets picked up by search engines. In fact, we can delete the article immediately if you request it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
