Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Menalica Monk

One keep and two weak keeps but seven deletes seems overwhelming.-- Poetlister 10:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Menalica Monk
No 'pedia article, Google yields a small handful of hits. Insufficient notability? — BD2412 T 16:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Weak evidence of notability, and Wikipedia is not infallible (no article for Eric Blom!); quotes are not brilliant, but certainly not inane.--Cato 20:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep He is in Arabic WP. He seems to be known beyond the submitting editor. The quotes are, as cato notes, not terrible. We have allowed so many pages that were worse. (As one can damn with faint praise, can one delete with weak keeps?) --Ubiquity 15:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think there may be some translation issues with the quotes. Some of them seem just plain wrong. Not that that's a reason to delete, but is there any way to fix it? Do these quotes correspond to the quotes for this person's entry in Arabic Wikiquote (which has fewer quotes, by the way)? BD2412 T 18:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * We cannot fix this problem. We have no reliable source for any of this material, and it doesn't look like we'll ever get this, given the apparent complete absence of this person in any English-language publication. Any articles that are this poorly supported should all be deleted. Using other bad articles as an excuse to keep one only leads to a bunch of useless articles, and we have a hard enough time improving the quality of our articles as it is. Right now, this person doesn't seem any more notable than any Wikiquotian, and we don't allow personal quotes in articles, no matter how clever they may be. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The quotes have neither legibility nor significance to the main readers of this encyclodpedia, and with no Wikipedia article to tie in, it's doubtful anyone will ever read this article anyhow. It's not worth the effort of trying to figure out a proper translation, which is assuming that the quotes will actually make sense in English.--Eichelberger 11:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, I'm not finding much on this person that would lead me to believe that notability requirements are met. ~ UDScott 10:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't find the evidence of notability convincing.-- Poetlister 13:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. This person appears to have zero notability in the English-speaking world, including no en:WP article. The 7 top-level Google hits are 1 Arabic, 1 Chinese, 1 Facebook, 3 Wikimedia (not counting the Arabic one), and 1 an apparent anyone-can-join band website. I know local open-mike singers with more notability. I wish him/her luck, but Wikiquote is not the vehicle to promote his/her career. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The quotes seem a little dense, and he seems nn, Modernist 12:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. When we are given an article with self-evidently bad translations ("He laid down his one's arms," "They concurs on burning the flag," etc.), it should be given a Prod notice if the subject is notable.  In this case, notability is lacking. - InvisibleSun 16:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I am unconvinced by the comments in support of this one, and my sentiment remains to delete. Cheers! BD2412 T 04:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
