 * Keep.

Hello. I am the author of the article and also author of the contents shared on it.

About "No indication that the artist is notable". If notable means backed-up by references, please check references on this website: "Manu Coloma references" Not a lot, I know, but if notable here also means noteworthy (a fact or event that is interesting, remarkable, or significant in some way), please do vote only after checking the work itself. I believe to be sharing interesting values in it.

About "Unverifiable sources", I will be making adjustments to verify sources in the next minutes. Pages linked in "citations" will show the quotes. In case of cache issues, please try seeing the website with an alternative navigator.)

About copyright issues with the pictures in the article, please see note at the bottom of the "website declaring all contents to be under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license". The reason for these pictures to be in the article is that they support the ideas expressed in the quotes.

Thank you. Fcd900 19:03, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, Pointless, fails Manuel of style, violates blocking policy, spammy, poorly written and nothing memorial of notable on the page. (StarWarsFanBoy 19:32, 4 December 2009 (UTC))
 * Comment: I am not changing my vote, continuing to base it on a question of notability, but I actually disagree with most of your reasons. I don't think the formatting of the page is a problem (and does not fail "Manuel of style"), is not poorly written, and actually has some memorable quotes. I would just recommend that they be placed on a user's page instead of here. ~ UDScott 19:47, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment:About "Pointless" - Please StarWarsFanBoy explain better what you mean. This is a strong word that can close doors and should not be used vaguely. About "fails Manual of style" - I am new here and I am trying to learn as fast as I can. Any help to adapt the article to the manual is very welcome. About "violates blocking policy" - I just checked the "Wikiquote:Blocking policy" where the specific reasons for blocking are listed. Please let me know which is the reason why you think my contribution fits in that list, or the reason why you make this affirmation. About "spammy" - Please kindly back-up this affirmation with specific examples. Which specific line or what is it that makes you think like that?. About "poorly written" - Please excuse my English. Any help with the translations is very appreciated too. About "nothing memorial of notable on the page" - I respect your opinion. But "notable", what is the meaning exactly for you?. Between Albert Einstein and Paris Hilton, both present in wikiquotes, there is a long way to go. I mean no offense to any of them, but the spectrum seems to be wide enough, and if it is just fame at the end what we consider to be the definitory factor of notability.. Then we might be closing the door to the most important part, which is not the person who speaks, but the message.

 * Comment: I just want things that are not notable deleted because nobody would fix or clean up those messy pages. Besides almost all VFDs ends with "delete".(StarWarsFanBoy 21:01, 4 December 2009 (UTC))


 * Comment: I have no intention to abandon the article into a mess. Neither I have the intention to misuse or overuse it. All I am trying to do is share good-willed and perhaps useful information while being respectful with the rules of the house. Isn´t that what wiki is about?

I am sorry to ask so many questions but what is "VFD?". Fcd900 21:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete My researches via Google suggest little notability.--Ole.Holm 22:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: You guys love that word over here :) I start to understand. Notability is the passport that my work needs in order to travel through this land. Is that right?. The page will be deleted. My quotes will then be asked to walk back and leave the country. Well, before we go, let me say that it has been emotional, and quite a nice conversation. I will tell my thoughts and pictures to start making the luggage. We will enjoy our last days around, and then we will leave through the back door making none or little noise. Wherever we go from here, we´ll be alright, however sorry for a while, that what we had to say, will not be heard in this land; the land of free information. I would have loved somebody telling me something like "You have to go because silence is nicer than words quite often". I would be so pleased to leave after that. Instead i am being told that, no matter what i am trying to share, i can´t stay because I have no passport. That little book with the golden word Notability written on its cover, like the one Paris Hilton seems to have. Maybe its time to stop focusing on creation, and invest some time in getting famous.. No way.Fcd900 00:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: To Fcd900, VFD is votes for deletion which random articles are put up for deletion because they are either not notable, spammy, poorly written, failed Manuel of style, violates the blocking policy or many other reasons why the pages are up for vote to delete an article. Also I only edit here just to keep an eye on some aritcles and simply vote for only Bad articles to be deleted.(StarWarsFanBoy 00:56, 5 December 2009 (UTC))
