Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Robert Johnson

It's painfully obvious this doesn't have a snowball's chance, despite the creator's earnest (and colorful) comments. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Robert Johnson
Although the intro (such as it is) asserts the subject's notability as a "world renound [sic] backyard wrestler", I could find no corroborating evidence, and believe this to be a vanity page (a particularly offensive one at that). — Ubiquity 18:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Now that the editor of the article has provided us with clear evidence of non-notability, can we speedy this? --Ubiquity 22:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment dude fuck you he is real he says all this shit and there is notabillity caus he is on fucking youtube but if you actually spent the time to fucking look at the video you'd see who he is but your obviously too fucking lazy so you spend your time on wikiquote deleting other peoples work instead of getting off your fat pompus ass and doing something
 * Oh, he's on YouTube! Well, why didn't you say so in the first place? That's clear evidence that this person is practically a household name. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: Okay, folks, we need to be a bit more mature about this. First of all, to the anonymous editor who created this article and has so persistently posted multiple votes, there is no point in doing this. You are expected, as is everyone participating in these discussions, to read the information at the top of WQ:VFD and the deletion policy it mentions if you wish to participate, so that you understand how this works. Please realize that violating project policies left and right tends to annoy regular participants, as they have the thankless job of enforcing the standards of the project. Skipping over the illegal multiple voting and the pointless swearing (which can only harm your case), I would point out that Wikiquote articles are about people who have established fame in mainstream publications, not everybody-can-play websites like YouTube. Second, I did watch the video, "XEW - Hole in the Wall", and it's clear that the participants are all children, who almost never meet notability requirements for quoting here, just as they cannot expect to have encyclopedia articles about themselves on Wikipedia. To our other participants here, I would ask everyone to please try not to bite the newbite and to assume good faith. Our anonymous friend clearly did not understand our purpose here. To the anon editor again, I would say that YouTube is a wonderful place to create your own work, but Wikiquote is not in the business of collecting everything that everyone does, only those quotations that have been shown to be notable and quoteworthy by previous publication in reliable sources (i.e., mainstream press, books, commercial audiovisual works, and the like). Please accept that no matter how important you may feel this material is, notability is not determined by editors' opinions but by the existence of formal publications. 11-year-old Haley Joel Osment appeared in The Sixth Sense, and 11-year-old Emily Rosa was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association for her scientifically sound test of therapeutic touch. Home videos that we editors make ourselves simply don't qualify as reliable publications. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask them on my talk page. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as juvenile prank and close this discussion soon. No point in prolonging the inevitable. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 23:23, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
