Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/The Joker

The Joker
This article, containing quotes of an individual fictional character, does not meet either of the exceptions provided at Fictional characters. It should be redirected to the disambiguation page for works in the Batman franchise. Some of the better quotes might be moved or merged, within the limits on quotations, to articles on individual works. — Ningauble (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. This nomination was prompted by the recent creation of an article on the Batman: Arkham City game (itself tagged checkcopyright on its talk page), which expands on a section in this article that already exceeds the (proposed) Limits on quotations guideline for electronic games. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott (talk) 16:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep — This is a major character of the DC comics and subsequent Movies, TV shows and games based upon them, who does come up independently in cultural references in recent decades and current times. The page needs work, as do many pages, but I see no pressing reason to delete it, and rules well devised to favor and entrench dominations of those who favor deletions are such things as I believe deserve as little respect as LESS  respect than poorly devised pages. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 17:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC) + tweaks
 * Delete unless it is brought in line with Fictional characters. A page of quotes by the character is not allowed specifically because the quotes were really written by various authors better represented through their individual works. A page of quotes containing pithy commentary or scholarly analysis about the Joker would pass muster under that policy. BD2412 T 23:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete with reluctance I sympathise with Kalki, but this page as it stands is incompatible with Fictional characters (though that is only a guideline). However, the guideline would be satisfied if we can find a book with "The Joker" in the title and add some quotes from that.--Collingwood (talk) 13:02, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Kalki makes a strong case.--Abramsky (talk) 12:51, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep at least as a redirect. ~ Daniel Tomé (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The nomination calls for redirecting it. ~ Ningauble (talk) 19:07, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
