Ranger's Apprentice
I am nominating this page for deletion because every single quote in it is incorrect. They are all written in a solely dialogue format, which is not the way the book it takes quotes from is written. This is unacceptable, as then it's worthless to a reader who wants the text exactly as it came from the book. In addition, most of the quotes aren't sourced. — Nick1372 (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: I was going to say that page requires cleanup, not deletion, but I agree with the nominator—the way in which the quotes were cropped so as to only show the dialogues is simply not acceptable. ~ DanielTom (talk) 23:54, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I suppose this could be cleaned up by a contributor who does not appear to see all literature (and life?) as some sort of TV show; but I don't know how likely it might be for someone with more adult sensibilities to write a page of quotations from this children's work. As it stands now the article completely misrepresents the text. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:37, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I suppose that this series may justify a page if it is completely re-done, but we'd need to find better quotes than these anyway.--Abramsky (talk) 20:33, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
