 * Are you serious? I just made the page and am adding quotes now. You should not add a vote for deletion in the same two minute radius that someone makes a page. - 72.229.48.178 16:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a pretty common problem that someone creates a page that has no quotes and then never comes back to it. Rather than let these pages languish for a while before nominating I decided to get it over with. The simple fact is that Wikiquote is all about quotes, and pages without quotes have no business here. The main namespace isn't a sandbox, and it shouldn't be used to store pages that don't have quotes. If you were a registered user, you could create a user subpage to work in, and then move the page to the main namespace when it was ready, or you could work in an external editor. —LrdChaos (talk) 16:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Seems OK now.--Poetlister 16:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep per Poetlister. --Ubiquity 17:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep now. BD2412 T 18:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, now that quotes have been added. ~ UDScott 18:49, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not happy about how the anon creator (who is self-identified as our old friend Zarbon) has added so many unsourced quotes with malformatted source lines to this and many other articles. But there's no question that this person is notable, and we should be able to source these and/or other quotes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I wonder about the mindset of someone so obsessed with Nazis. Still, it would be difficult to justify deletion.--Cato 22:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 16:19, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete These are all unsourced. If there are good quotes for someone so infamous, there must be sources.--Yehudi 09:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - has done a series of more than 20 of these articles on Nazi war criminals, all heavily dominated by quotes from letters to Leon Goldensohn. I presume these all come from Goldensohn's The Nuremberg Interviews, which is certainly a valid source. I wish the editor had done a better job of attributing quotes (like book and page number), but if we kill this one I think we have to kill all of them, and they are all historically interesting. --Ubiquity 11:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Yes, most of the material I obtained was from that book. However, I did obtain material from other books and resources. I don't think it's necessary to have page numbers in order to ascertain that all the quotations are unique and correctly attributed. I wouldn't have added them if they weren't correct to begin with. Thanks for the vote of confidence by the way people. I will continue to contribute heavily. - 72.229.48.178 22:20, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia projects don't accept personal testimony — neither yours nor mine — as verification of accuracy. The idea of "verification" requires an authority to vet material, but Wikiquote has no editorial board. We all are the "board". Therefore, we call for authors, titles, editions, and page numbers, so that anyone can grab a copy of the cited material and verify it for themselves. Please read w:Wikipedia:Verification for more details on this approach. The consequence to Wikiquote is that all quotes should have specific sources that can reasonably be checked without too much effort; e.g., without having to read an entire book (not to mention having to find the unstated title in the first place). If you're pulling these quotes directly out of a book, please take the trivial additional effort to add the title, edition, and page number to each quote. (And while you're at it, please don't italicize the context lines, but follow Templates/Literary works instead.) Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. If more sourced quote are added. There is many books on Reinhard Heydrich Heydrich By Alan Wykes, The Killing of Reinhard Heydrich: The SS "Butcher of Prague" By Callum MacDonald, Heydrich: The Face of Evil By Mario R. Dederichs, Reinhard Heydrich: The Chilling Story of the Man Who Masterminded the Nazi ... By Edouard, Reinhard Heydrich: Hangman of the Third Reich By Fred Ramen, Etc.
