Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Allegations of Israeli apartheid

Enough of the "merge/move" votes found "keep" acceptable that I felt there was a consensus for the latter. The possibility of content disputes suggests that we keep an eye on this to see where it goes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Allegations of Israeli apartheid
This is a highly controversial issue and is outside the scope of a collection of quotations. — Cato 21:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closes: 22:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or move to a page on Israel. Though the subject is controversial, that should not prevent a page being created about it. ~ UDScott 00:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The corresponding page on Wikipedia has been tagged a quotefarm. This page is needed to park quotes, I think. Andyvphil 01:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see Wikiquote as a dumping ground for waste from Wikipedia. Incidentally, Andyvphil seems to be a SPA.--Cato 21:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ...which is why I didn't "vote". Somebody added the "wikiquote" tag to the corresponding Wikipedia article and I followed the blue link to the article Cato wants to delete. Dunno what your charter is -- are "controversial issues" really not appropriate??? Andyvphil 18:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * NOTE: For those who didn't catch Cato's "SPA" reference (like me), that's a single-purpose account. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. The quotes are properly sourced, and a neutral point of view has been maintained. If the page grows into something with an agenda, pro or con, appropriate action can be taken. If there were already a page on Israel, it might be appropriate to move these there. But to have these be the only quotes on an Israel page would be extremely provocative. --Ubiquity 22:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The existence of this page implies a POV - that this is a legitimate topic for Wikiquote.--Cato 23:02, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep--McNoddy 07:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep under current title. - InvisibleSun 07:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Israel. The current article keep NPOV hence acceptable. If this title is proper would be another issue. By the way, in this occasion I admit I don't like its current formatting; it should follow our MoS. --Aphaia 10:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Israel Will {{sup|{talk)}} 23:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There have been a couple of suggestions to merge with Israel. Has anyone noticed that those are redlinks? There is no current article on Israel with which to merge. And I don't think these two quotes alone are very appropriate for an all-Israel article. --Ubiquity 03:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ubiquity and I are in agreement there!--Cato 10:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, I am aware that Israel is a redlink. There should be more quotes about Israel, then, so there can be a centralised page. Will {{sup|{talk)}} 16:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There is much to be said for keeping controversy out of Wikiquote; I am tempted to vote for deletion on those grounds, but it does not fail notability.--Poetlister 11:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
