Pakistan
No quotes; reads more like an encyclopedia entry. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Now this article has some quotes, dont delete it.:bilal:
 * Great Great Entry and knowledge about pakistan.:
 * The problem with the page is that it doesn't have any quotes. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikiquote isn't just about collecting facts about something; we collect quotes about it. The page as you created it doesn't really fit that; it provides facts and history, which is something much more suitable for Wikipedia than here. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 *  Delete Keep--Poetlister 22:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I cleaned up the article but even after working on it I'm not very impressed, either by the unsourced quotes that are there or by the potential for more interesting ones. I could be swayed by the addition of notable, sourced quotes, not sayings of unknown students and accountants and things fished out of BrainyQuote and ThinkExist. --Ubiquity 17:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep now. Once again BD has proven me wrong about the potential of a theme article. I look forward to his future articles on Nauru, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands. --Ubiquity 22:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You'd be surprised how many good quotes there are on obscure places! BD2412 T 00:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your effort, bilal, but it's not as simple as that. While not at all disputing Pakistan's importance both to history and the modern world, I so far haven't seen much that's quotable on the page, and the fact that most of the quotes are unverifiable further weakens the page's position. If you want to improve the page, find some interesting quotations from notable sources and provide full attribution. Then at least we'll be able to judge the article's potential. --Ubiquity 17:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

KEEP Its is very obvious that Pakistan is very important country so there is no question of deleting it. and if its deleted then i it will be biased attitude ,, which must not be allowed. off course quotes added in the article are not upto satisfaction mark but i think they cover the votes to keep this article on going in wikiquote. Dont delete it. KEEP IT Importance of Pakistan is obvious. Quotes are better in this article. no need to delete. VOTING SHOULD BE CLOSED NOW as its 18 December now --Lookatthis 15:47, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a candidate to be fixed, not deleted. Every country in the world is the subject of at least a few notable quotes, and Pakistan is probably high up the list - they just need to be found! BD2412 T 18:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think this is the first attempt in wikiquote about Pakistan. hence this article needs to be fixed and not to be deleted, authorities and people must enter more quotations despite of deleting it which will not be a healthy approach. so i think this article must be more effective if its fixed and not deleted at all. every article in wikiquote has some sourced and unsourced quotes so is the case with this. thnks. Sara.
 * I have now added a few decent sourced quotes. After I finish with Bartlett's 1919 Index, my next project will be to create an appropriate entry for every country in the world! BD2412 T 19:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Sems OK now. I look forward to the article on Vanuatu.--Cato 22:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 22:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep now with the refocusing on sourced quotes. (I'm not sure the current quotes are especially concise or memorable, but at least we're on the right track for an unquestionably notable subject.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I think the first two are neat, and the Salman Rushdie quote. And then, of course, there is Inspectah Deck... BD2412 T 13:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP i think this article seems ok now.
 * KEEP there is nothing any problem in this article nor any reason for delete. so please avoid descrimination by avoiding to delete this article. thnks Salman:
 * Please bear in mind that comments by IP's and new editors are given very little weight in these discussions. You will be given greater consideration if you first make an account and do enough editing from that account to get a sense of how things work here. Cheers! BD2412 T 22:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Obviously Pakistan is notable, and the quotes pass muster.--Yehudi 09:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep if sourced quotes are added. Pakistan is a Country--Lookatthis 16:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - per above - Modernist 08:55, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article is okay at this point.--Inesculent 19:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
