User:Redkinoko
This is the "user page" of someone whose sole activity at Wikiquote is self-publication or promotion of self-published work. Wikiquote is not a personal website, and user pages are not for hosting substantial content unrelated to Wikiquote. — Ningauble 15:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. ~ Ningauble 15:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Prior to starting this VFD, it looks like there has been absolutely zero previous attempts to even try to engage the user in good faith discussion, perhaps he would have modified the page in question of his own accord. -- Cirt (talk) 16:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This user received a welcome message more than three years ago with links to information about what Wikiquote is and is not. Nevertheless, although there have been several updates to the user's page, this has been the user's only activity here. "Wikiquote provides users' pages to facilitate communication among participants in the project." This person has had ample opportunity to participate, and has not. ~ Ningauble 21:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hang on . Unlike the above uploader, this one has at least made a pretense of quoting something from an allegedly published work. Let's communicate with him and see if anything of this is salvageable. Cheers! BD2412 T 17:20, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * A self-published work (CreateSpace), with a blog link. How long do you propose to wait? Frankly, though I recognize the consensus that this sort of thing should be discussed, I would rather it were speedyable as blatant advertising. ~ Ningauble 21:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I would agree with speedy deleting this if it were in the mainspace, but this is a user page. I think it is probably more appropriate to engage the user and give them an opportunity to reform themselves. BD2412 T 17:06, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I appreciate how VfD can be seen as an abrupt form of engagement, but to me it seems appropriate in this case. What would you like to post instead, and how long do you propose to "hang on"? ~ Ningauble 15:48, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Upon further investigation, I think we are highly unlikely to ever hear from User:Redkinoko again (he has not edited here in years, and has not responded to the talk page notice regarding this discussion), and I see no further basis for avoiding housecleaning. Vote changed to Delete. BD2412 T 17:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hang on. Agree with BD2412. At least some sort of an attempt at good faith communication should be extended, prior to resorting to VFD. -- Cirt (talk) 19:11, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I cannot understand the objections to deletion. The quotations are all from a non-notable author.  Were this an article called "Jethro Trogo" rather than a userpage, would anyone not be voting delete?--Collingwood 23:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
