Dave Small
I question this person's notability (but since it seems some level of notability is claimed by the page, I did not want to SD it). I also believe that many of the quotes are not very memorable - and none are sourced or are likely to be. — UDScott 20:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete unless notability evidence provided and original, pithy, sourced quotes replace the current material. This looks like a standard, inappropriately worshipful article by a student, filled with unsourceable stuff they heard the subject say. Small has no Wikipedia article (either under "David Small" or "Dave Small"), although there is a disambiguation entry for "Dave Small (Irish rowing coach)" at David Small. (Interesting note: this dab entry was changed from "Dave Small (teacher extraordinaire)", an article that was deleted yesterday as vandalism. I can't see the deleted article, but it sounds like it might have been a mistaken evaluation, although that doesn't mean Small meets either WP or WQ notability guidelines.) The right way to establish notability and source quotes is to find the quotes published in reliable sources, include only those sourced quotes in the article, and cite those sources. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can see the deleted article. It's an elaborate hoax (but very definitely a hoax, making factual claims that do not check out) - no doubt this follows suit. BD2412 T 22:27, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly not notable; some quotes aren't original; in the "dialogue" bit he's the straight man.--Yehudi 06:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
