Shaped by God
This appears to be no more than quotes from a religious pamphlet (none of which are properly sourced). None of the listed contributors appears to be notable. — UDScott 16:28, 12 August 2010 (UTC) http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_2?_encoding=UTF8&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books&field-author=Don%20C.%20Richter http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Bilbo-Sarah-Arthur/dp/1414301316#reader_1414301316 http://www.amazon.com/Elizabeth-Caldwell/e/B002TSIEQS/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1281652877&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Robert-J.-Keeley/e/B001JS7UKK/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1281652905&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Faith-Formation-Congregations-Congregational-Vitality/dp/0829818138/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1 http://www.amazon.com/Nurturing-Childrens-Spirituality-Christian-Perspectives/dp/1556355580/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281653028&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Erik-W.-Carter/e/B001HMLKZO/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1281653062&sr=1-1

 * Delete. ~ UDScott 16:28, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a book published by a major denomination (Christian Reformed Church in North America) about faith formation. It is 185 pages long (see Wikisummary on Shaped by God), and offers resources to church leaders. Tself 16:41, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep
 * "24.15.80.10 20:41, 12 August 2010 (UTC)Keep" This is a real book, not a pamphlet. The contributors are university professors and church leaders. Not sure what definition of "notable" is if they don't fit.
 * Keep. A valuable and relevant resource for those in ministry.
 * Delete per nom. No indicia of quotable notability, and if this really is a "valuable and relevant resource", there are many places on the Internet where it could properly be provided. BD2412 T 20:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Cgrant 22:50, 12 August 2010 (UTC) keep. think this one's good;  a number of quotes from a variety of published people:
 * Then it is absolutely not something that we are permitted to have here, as we do not have collections of quotes from works by multiple authors for copyright reasons. Quotes by specific authors must go to individual pages of quotes by those authors, each of whom must first estabilish quotable notability. BD2412 T 00:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable, and as BD2412 says inappropriate for copyright reasons. -Sketchmoose 12:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This newly published book is clearly not notable. Whether or not it is a "relevant resource for those in ministry," a collection of essays by diverse persons it is not an appropriate subject for a Wikiquote article. ~ Ningauble 15:38, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not mean to say that collaborative works are never appropriate subjects for Wikiquote articles. Some (not this one) are highly notable and have stood the test of time for quotability. Still, when discrete quotable contributions to a collaboration are attributable to individual notable authors, it is better to quote them in author articles. ~ Ningauble 15:37, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - a book that is really not notable and essays are not appropriate subjects for any article here. Sjones23 19:49, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Note: The deluge of sockpuppets meatpuppets in this discussion has forced me to protect it against edits by newly created single-purpose accounts. BD2412 T 00:10, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, I have confirmed that none of these "new" users is registered on Wikipedia. This is a shameful fraud. BD2412 T 00:13, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
