Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Island6


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: delete. Seven out of the eight "keep" votes cast are from new, single-purpose accounts, including one that explicitly double-voted, bringing the others under a cloud of suspicion which precludes them from being counted. BD2412 T 12:19, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Island6
These appear to be remarks from or about the venue of an art gallery. The article was prod because "Unmemorable quotes, no notability claim." The tag was removed when citations were added; but these statements do not appear to be quoteworthy, and the article does not attribute them to anybody – notable or otherwise. — Ningauble (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as it stands. The gallery does have a Wikipedia page (and seems to have substantial evidence of notability), but galleries don't speak, and the people quoted here are not identified, nor is it clear that these quotes are about the gallery itself. BD2412 T 16:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and BD2412. ~ UDScott (talk) 16:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - quotes are patent nonsense out of context. --Tryst (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Can you please clarify "the article does not attribute them to anybody"? For example, the first quote is sourced to "Bollmann, P."--Collingwood (talk) 19:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Bollmann is the editor of the cited book, and is apparently not the person quoted. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:43, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep ~ Notability of source seems sufficient — and though I frankly find many of the quotes trivial, and recognize the page needs much improvement, I believe it should be allowed to evolve rather than being killed by presumptions of non-notablity, and I have long found the increasing intolerance of those who would set themselves up as final or ultimate judges of what others should find to be quotable even more tiresome. ~ ♞☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 11:58, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep ~ Tc262 This article is not about island6, the gallery but island6, the art collective. The art collective does have a Wikipedia page ( Liu Dao) and seems to have substantial evidence of notability. (island6 being the english translation of the pinyin name Liu Dao)
 * Keep ~ Alexandre I just love these quotes. Keep them.
 * Keep ~ These quotes are really interesting. The island6 art collective is getting famous all over the world. Keep them
 * Keep ~ Thepoppony These are quotes from the art collective ( Liu Dao) and are quotes about and from exhibitions. Agree with ♞☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ that the page should be allowed to develop.
 * Keep ~ Palladdiumm The quotes are attributed to the artist' collective and have all been double-checked by this user in Ong et al.'s (2010) book on Liu Dao. Comments such as "quotes are patent nonsense out of context. --Tryst (talk)" seem to be purposely defamatory to the art collective, without any actual content.
 * Keep ~ PaulRitch agrees with Tc262 on the dual purpose of island6 (as an art space + artistic collective). Quotes on this page are relevant and should be conserved.
 * Keep ~ EarnDaleheart agrees with PaulRitch- one of the forms artistic outputs of the collective is in the form of text. The quotes listed are therefore very relevant and should be conserved
