 * Comment I'm not sure that Sceptre makes a viable case for deletion. There's nothing offensive or derogatory.  However, I support deletion because I see no worthwhile quote here.--Cato 18:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Two of the quotes came from Fear Factor--Lookatthis 20:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete we've got to have some kind of standards. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless sourced quotes can be provided. ~ UDScott 18:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. We spend too much time debating and checking the notability of people who have no business being in a compendium of quotes, but nevertheless have fans (often themselves) who dote on their every word. I would like to propose that the best test of notability for a person article is the availability of sourced quotes from reputable print publications or their web analogs (for instance, I would allow a source that came from a CNN.com interview, but not one from Joe Blow's Blog), and that the best way to handle these sorts of things, once we have a policy we can refer to, would be something like : Note the lack of sources, give interested parties 7 days to fix it, and then, if not fixed, axe with no further discussion. If not here, where would be the best place to discuss this as a potential policy? --Ubiquity 17:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Start a policy and link to it at the pump.--Cato 23:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree Ubiquity. IMO, all our quotes need to be remarkable and have a reliable source. If the quote is from a living person then the pace of determining if a suitable entry is possible needs to be accelerated over other entries, I think. An entry can be re-created later if remarkable well sourced quotes are found. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 03:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment We need a bit of consistency. For Stephen Benjamin we have quotes from respectable newspapers yet people are urging deletion.--Yehudi 17:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, we need a floor, but the floor is "necessary but not sufficient". In short, having quotes from respectible newspapers does not guarantee one the right to a Wikiquote entry (but not having at least that level of sourcing will almost certainly be fatal to it).

 * Delete On quality of quotes. However, this raises broad issues about criteria for inclusion.  I think that if a quotation is inoffensive, we need not worry about BLP so there is no need to treat living persons differently.--Poetlister 16:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
