Graffiti
By definition, these quotes will never be able to be sourced and are from unknown people. They can never truly be verified that they are accurate and they certainly do not meet the notability requirements of wikiquote. ~ UDScott 12:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed: Result: Delete. Examples of notable graffiti can be added to Anonymous. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 20:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment I agree that almost, perhaps the all of them are anonymous, but not sure if we can say "never be able to be sourced". We may refer some known quotes like "Kilroy was here" or some graffiti on an ancient monument ... (I am now thinking of a Roman graffiti of crucified donkey, it was obviously a satirical reference to Christ Jesus the crucified, regretfully I don't remember it was accompanied with a text; now it is a collection of Museo Capitolini). But because of anonymity all legitimate "famous" graffiti could be merged to Anonymous, I don't oppose deletion strongly.15:59, 19 April 2007 Aphaia
 * Delete this article (all unsourced). I can envisage a viable article with that heading, but not this one. Tyrenius 01:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sourced quotes replace the current content. There is the further question of whether this article should be quotes about graffiti, examples of graffiti, or both. (Most theme articles are supposed to be about a subject, but a few theme articles, like Lyrics and Advertising slogans, are defined by example.) Quotes about graffiti are like quotes about any other subject; we can expect to get sourced material here. But graffiti itself can definitely be sourced, if it is sufficiently notable on its own, as Aphaia says. (Let's not confuse our favoring of primary sources for things like TV shows and films for the entirety of reliable sourcing. Graffiti is like speeches — the original is too ephemeral to be a source, but we can expect a published source for any material that is of sufficient interest.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above.--Jusjih 23:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
