Soul Hunters
Even if the current discussion involving a potential copyright violation is resolved, this page does not truly have quotes, but instead reads as an encyclopedic page. — UDScott 01:06, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. ~ UDScott 01:06, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, per UDScott. Cirt (talk) 01:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge anything salvageable into Shamanism (if there are several worthwhile quotes from this topic, make them a section on the Shamanism page). Delete any copyvio history, and redirect to Shamanism. BD2412 T 03:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, I agree that most of the material added by this user seemed to be primarily self-promotional and was mostly or entirely inappropriate for Wikiquote, though if anyone wishes to take BD2412s suggestion and bother to find some actual quotes on Shamanism by widely noted authors among any of these sub-pages, I don't object to that. ~ Achilles † 19:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * false "does not truly have quotes"
 * This article consists almost entirely of quotations, verbatim, all properly enclosed within quotation marks.
 * On account of its consisting mostly of quotations, it would not be acceptable as an encyclopedia article (as, in Wikipedia).


 * Delete. 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 one of 13 articles comprising some 585KB copied and pasted in bulk 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 17:12, 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 03:05, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
