Bates method
The only "quotes" here read as if they were just taken from pamphlets advertising this method. As it stands, I don't see anything of value on this page. — UDScott 17:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. ~ UDScott 17:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete on two grounds: it's not pithy statements but large tracts (not what we collect here), and it seems to be an attempt by someone to find an alternate venue for this material because there is currently an edit war going on at Bates method over including these large tracts of quotes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment all the "quotes"(I think) come from the same book The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses By William Horatio Bates Published in 1920-- Wikisource may be the place for the FULL BOOK--Lookatthis 18:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * the book is on Wikisource Perfect_Sight_Without_Glasses--Lookatthis 18:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Certainly neither pithy nor memorable, nor historically enlightening. --Ubiquity 19:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Seems to be notable, but rotten quotes. Poetlister 22:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It needs a lot of reworking and more succinct edits, but there is material there that can be worked with and improved. Modernist 08:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Modernist (if he does the work!)--Cato 21:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment per Cato, I gave it a go and removed some material and changed some formats. Not a lot of great stuff here. Modernist 17:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as the quotes do not seem to be pithy or even succinct text that describe the essence of the method. I don't see it as the mission of the Project to catalog this type of material in order to be comprehensive. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 02:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, really not a topic worthy of a Wikiquote page. Entries on themes and topics should have a broader horizon. BD2412 T 01:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
