Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Shaman

Shaman
Much of this page is a jumble of fragments, confusing bibliographic notes, and fractured markup. If it includes some statements that are notable and quotabe (which is not immediately apparent to me) they could be selectively incorporated in a Shamanism article. This page is yet another of 16 articles now comprising some 696KB recently copied and pasted from http://texts.00.gs. (The site does not display a GFDL release, but copyright would be less of a concern if the selection were more selective.) Since no effort has been invested in selection from, or formatting of, what already exists elsewhere, I see no harm in deleting it pending a possible do-over. — Ningauble 17:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. In fairness, I am not uploading thousands of bibliographic references from my own academic research either. ~ Ningauble 17:33, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge anything salvageable into Shamanism and redirect. BD2412 T 20:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This doesn't really work as a theme page. The quotes are scholarly footnotes lacking context.  It's a shame that the editor, acting on   advice given at Wikipedia, went to all this work for something not appropriate here.  - InvisibleSun 03:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
