KNXV/KTVK Tragedy
There are no quotations here. This is the transcript of an accident. I certainly don't see the opportunity for pithy or witty phrases, or notable quotations from notable people or creative works. I previously prod'd this and the author let it die, but now that it's back I'd like a wider assessment, so here we are. — Ubiquity 21:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. It may be in copyright, but even if not, we're not in the transcript business. If it's in the public domain, Wikisource (if anyone) would be the proper host. BD2412 T 21:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per BD2412. Without quotes, I rather would have said, speedy, since "no quote" article meets our speedy criteria. And I would like to bring it up: it was not the first time that this editor (or the person with whom the editor claims to be identical) submitted unpithy transcript (and it didn't look even true transcript, but rather author's imaginative product). --Aphaia 21:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointless. The Wikipedia article has a link to a YouTube video of the incident. This is a transcript of the first few minutes of the video.  (Perhaps this is why the article was tagged Under Construction: merely to finish transcribing the video content.) - InvisibleSun 03:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is the epitome of the kind of quoting that I strenuously argue against — scene transcriptions instead of pithy, original words. Events like these almost never result in memorable words. (The sole exception occurring to me at the moment is Herbert Morrison's "Oh, the humanity!", which itself isn't impressive wording except that it has so pervaded popular culture that it is verifiably noteworthy and arguably original in its peculiar obliqueness.) Unless we start stomping heavily on these attempts to use Wikiquote merely to document scenes, real or fictional, we'll cease to be a memorable-quote site and just become a "stuff people talked about" site. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
