Jeff Luers
Two quotes, one unsourced quote and the other sourced to an advocacy website for a jailed environmental activist. Unlikely to be of interest except for people absorbed in his cause. — FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 21:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Rather than removing the unsourced quote of the living person, I'm putting the entry up for deletion as I feel the sourced quote is weak and likely not remarkable to most people. The quote is sourced to an advocacy website. Unless, this and other quotes are found to be used in other media (which indicates that the quote is of interest to a broader audience), delete.

 * Comment. The quote as found in the source link differs from the quote as found on the Luers page. It actually reads as follows: "It is my belief that the oppression of people is rooted in the oppression and exploitation of nature. A fundamental disrespect for life that began with the conquest of Mother Nature and has lead to the conquest of humankind. I struck back. In an act of resistance designated to raise awareness and draw attention to a problem that affects every human being, every animal, every plant, and every form of life on this planet. I am speaking of global warming, air, soil and water pollution. We are in the midst of a global environmental crisis." If the page is to be kept, this version should replace the other.  - InvisibleSun 23:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The sourced version, as given above, lacks the self-sufficiency of a really good quote. We don't know how Luers "struck back" unless we read about him in the WP or source links. All in all, however, I think it's an adequate stub. - InvisibleSun 23:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the entry is primarily being used to link to the advocacy website to gather support for his freedom rather than to display a pithy, unique quote by him. If the quote was something that approached being remarkable I would have a different opinion. Maybe there is something else out there that is better. If so, I would prefer that it be added now by interested users, rather than to leave it hanging around here as a tool for his advocacy. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 00:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. More notable as an arsonist than as an advocate. I might feel differently about this moderately articulate statement if he were widely quoted or published by a mainstream publisher. (If kept, the misquote needs to be corrected.) ~ Ningauble 17:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom and above discussion. ~ UDScott 18:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, not quotably notable. BD2412 T 01:22, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
