A song is to the ear, like a fragrance to the nose.
Page for a single quote, which the creator has added to a couple of other pages (which I'll most likely remove, as I wasn't able to find any trace of it being from a notable person). —LrdChaos (talk) 17:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Quite snappy, but certainly doesn't deserve its own page - vanity entry.--Cato 19:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A single quote with no google hits. No explanation for notability and no sources. FloNight 10:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think the only reason the editor put this here is because, having no source or even attribution, there was no other place to put it. But if we allow this, pretty soon every one who thinks of something they think pithy or witty will be starting a page for it. To me, unless the quote is VERY well-known, and has a body of interesting material that can be attached to it (like variants, histories, sources, etc), such pages are totally useless because you can't even find them unless you know the quote already. --Ubiquity 13:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wikiquote articles are not the place to establish new wit. Well-known quotes without a known quotee can be reliably sourced (i.e., provided with a citation from a reliable publisher, even if not the original), otherwise they wouldn't be well-known. They can be placed in a theme article (including proverbs, if appropriate) and/or Anonymous (which would be helped considerably by some sourced quotes). Wikiquote is also not the place to include commentaries on quotes, including histories, analyses, or comparisons, which are almost inevitably original research or copyright violations. For all these reasons, we have routinely and consistently rejected single-quote articles. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and Jeff Q: I'd however like to note down "Wikiquote articles are not the place to establish new wit". We have this wit in our WQ:NOT already? :-) --Aphaia 15:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
