Jeania Ehlinger
I only get 4 hits on google for this one. I guess it might be speedy but I am not sufficiently experienced here to judge that so over to you -- Herby talk thyme 07:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Vote closed: Result: Delete. The keep voters make no reasonable argument; it is not enough that a quotation be apt or funny or true; it needs to be either a famous person or a famous quote. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 10:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete unremarkable subject. Not only does this exact name get zero Google hits (I only found 2 relevant hits, a registered-voter list and a MySpace page, when taking out the quotes), pretty much guaranteeing non-notability, but she is a relative of a likely unnotable person (by Wikimedia standards) who is a founder of a company that itself isn't noted in any Wikipedia articles. Furthermore, the anon creator of this article, 24.214.236.19, is suspiciously similar to the one (24.214.236.20) who signed himself "Early Ehlinger [ResPower]" at w:Talk:Render farmTalk:, arguing last year for the inclusion of a link to this commercial company in that article. (ResPower's inclusion in that article's text is at least possible with appropriate reliable sources, but it still wouldn't justify our quote article.) This is a slam-dunk conflict-of-interest for a subject with no apparent possibility of having sourced quotes. (No offense to the witty Mrs. Ehlinger, or her earnest husband's efforts.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep It's quite funny, as Cato said. - Early Ehlinger, yes - the IP is ResPower's. I've removed the co-founder of ResPower bit, since any mention of anything commercial seems to invite negative reaction in all things wiki.  My interest in having it here is mainly so that her quip is never forgotten.  She first made it circa 1995/1996, during frustration at the theory-vs-reality of the Plug-and-Play system in Windows.  I have used it repeatedly in Usenet postings since then, although a Google Groups search only shows two references and a vast number of postings from one prolific fellow named Andrew Denton.  I suspect that this is because my primary Usenet participation during those years was in the borland.* groups, which their database seems to be fairly lacking in.  Interestingly, Mr. Denton's posts seem to be geared toward Delphi so it is possible that he saw one of my postings with that comment and liked it.  I do not know if this is the case or if he independently came up with the comment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.214.236.19 (talk • contribs) 16:44, 22 June 2007  (UTC)
